Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta is expected to miss the entire preseason with what is believed to be a broken hand that may require surgery, the Carroll County Times reported.
Head coach John Harbaugh told the paper he hopes to have Pitta back for the team's September 10 season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Pitta is scheduled to have an MRI to determine the extent of the damage. Pitta technically is the No. 2 tight end behind Ed Dickson, but the Ravens frequently use two-tight end formations, and the Ravens don't have much depth at the tight end position. They may sign a veteran free agent to take Pitta's place for the preseason. Pitta started two games last season, and he caught 40 passes for 405 yards and three touchdowns in 2011.

Despite the team having another quality tight end in Ed Dickson, Pitta is the better of the two players.
