Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta had successful surgery Monday to repair his fractured, dislocated right hip, Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Pitta was carted off the field after his injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns and remained hospitalized overnight in Cleveland.
