Hip dislocations are typically seen in major car crashes. It is actually quite rare to experience one in athletics, let alone two. This is because it normally takes very strong forces to cause one. The fact that Pitta's most recent dislocation occurred without any contact whatsoever is a major red-flag and not a promising sign for his future. Here was my take on his injury and prognosis at the start of training camp: http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2015/7/13/8950901/dennis-pitta-will-he-play-in-2015

Perriman's reported mechanism of injury (falling onto a bent knee) certainly supports the notion that he suffered a sprained PCL. However it's important to realize that knee sprains actually involve tearing of the involved ligament. The more severe the sprain, the more tearing involved. Based on the way the Ravens handled his injury initially (suggesting it was merely a bruised knee and he'd be "day-to-day"), it seemed likely that he suffered a Grade I sprain. However, if that were the case, he likely would be back practicing by now. I, like everyone else, can only continue to speculate at this point. But my best guess is that Perriman either suffered a Grade II PCL sprain or is battling a bone bruise in addition to the PCL sprain that Jamison Hensley reported. Bone bruises can be nagging and fairly unpredictable in terms of healing time. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the hold-up in his recovery. You can read more about Breshad Perriman's medical history and PCL sprains in an article I wrote for Baltimore Beatdown here: http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2015/8/21/9182471/perrimans-injury-and-past-medical-history-is-there-cause-for-concern

Too many Ravens fans are still under the impression that Perriman's injury is related to having Osgood-Schlatter's disease. It is not related at all and is 100% a non-issue.
