Dennis Pitta underwent surgery on his dislocated right hip and is lost for the year. The procedure comes one day after the tight end suffered the non-contact injury in a Week 3 win over the Cleveland Browns.

It's the same right hip that Pitta fractured and dislocated last summer, an injury that cost him much of 2013.

The nature of the injury brings into question whether Pitta's playing career is now in jeopardy.

"I don't know the ramifications of that long term," Harbaugh said. "I'm going to be really hopeful for Dennis' return and I'm sure we'll learn about that in the coming weeks."
