Brilliant playcall by Shanahan on the Manziel catch.

As a Ravens fan I'm glad it got called back. As a football fan its a shame

Yeah, that was a fantastic trick play, and they sold it brilliantly.

Man, that looked bad for Pitta. Hope it's not the hip he injured last year.

The injury to Pitta is heartbreaking. Looks like he will be gone a while.

The way he planted that leg when he was hunched over and then how that leg swung around makes me think it was the hip.

I think this is the point where the game becomes secondary to a person's health.

They announced it was the same hip. My heart goes out to him, because that is just brutal. It looked like he had no control over his right leg.

Obviously I am no medical expert, but if it is the same injury I wonder if it is possible we have seen the last of Dennis Pitta. Sure people return from duplicate injuries fairly often but a dislocated hip? Will it ever be the same again? Or will it get progressively worse?

Unfortunately, my first thought was his career could be over. I hope not, but a hip injury is no joke, let alone re-injuring the same one two years in a row.
