Maurice Hurst II Injury News & Updates

The Colts hosted Hurst (ankle) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hurst was limited to just eight regular-season games for the Browns in 2024, and he ended that campaign on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. He appears to have fully recovered from his injury, and the 2018 fifth-rounder is attempting to catch on with a team in need of depth at defensive tackle. The Colts could certainly add a player like Hurst, given that DeForest Buckner (neck) is on injured reserve and does not have a timeline for a return.

Hurst (ankle) recorded 16 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, over eight games in 2024.

The 29-year-old defensive tackle finished Cleveland's season on injured reserve, missing nine games due to an ankle injury. This appears to be a recurring theme for Hurst, who has now been sidelined for 45 regular-season games over the past four seasons in the NFL. Hurst played over 40 percent of the Browns' defensive snaps in three games this year, recording seven total tackles in those contests. He's now set to be an unrestricted free agent after signing a one-year, $1.8 million deal with Cleveland last offseason. Given his continued injury struggles, Hurst is likely to sign another one-year prove-it contract this offseason after missing more than half his team's games in 2024.

The Browns placed Hurst (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Hurst was already ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh due to an ankle injury. However, the issue is serious enough that the 2018 fifth-round pick will be placed on injured reserve, which will require him to miss at least the next four regular-season games. That means Hurst could be activated off IR ahead of the Browns' regular-season finale against the Ravens on Sunday, Jan. 5. If Hurst doesn't play Week 18 and assuming the Browns don't make the playoffs, he would end his 2024 campaign with 16 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, across eight regular-season games.

Hurst (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Hurst was unable to practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, and the issue is serious enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's AFC North clash. With Hurst out and Michael Hall (knee) on injured reserve, rookie seventh-rounder Jowon Briggs should see a significant increase in defensive snaps as the Browns' rotational defensive tackle behind starters Dalvin Tomlinson and Shelby Harris.

Hurst (ankle) is active Week 6 against the Eagles.

Hurst hasn't seen the field since Week 1 and was only taken off the IR on Saturday, but he'll suit up to provide interior defensive line depth for the Browns in Sunday's road matchup.

The Browns activated Hurst (ankle) off injured reserve Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Hurst hurt his ankle Week 1 against Dallas and was subsequently placed on injured reserve. He's since missed the required four games and had his practice window opened this past Wednesday. Hurst still carries a designation of questionable heading into Sunday, but he has a good chance of playing versus the Eagles after logging an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week.

Hurst (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Hurst has missed the Browns' last four games after sustaining an ankle injury in the Cleveland's Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, but it appears he's nearing a return to the field. The Browns will now have 21 days to activate Hurst to their active roster before he reverts to IR. He's expected to serve as a rotational interior defensive lineman once he fully recovers from his ankle issue.

Hurst (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Hurst exited the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys with the injury, which will now put him out for at least the next four weeks. His absence will be a blow to the interior of Cleveland's defensive line, which the team will attempt to address with the signing of Sam Kamara from their practice squad. Although a specific return date for Hurst beyond the minimum of four weeks is unknown, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, head coach Kevin Stefanksi doesn't believe it's a season-ender for the Michigan product.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Hurst (ankle) is considered week-to-week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Hurst logged three total tackles while playing 29 total snaps (22 defensive and seven on special teams) during the Browns' Week 1 contest before sustaining an ankle injury. Expect Quinton Jefferson to see more work as a rotational interior defensive lineman while Hurst recovers.

Hurst (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Hurst was limited earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury, but it appears he's moved past the issue just in time for Cleveland's regular-season opener Sunday. Expect the 29-year-old to serve as one of the Browns' top rotational defensive linemen in Week 1.

Hurst (undisclosed) is not practicing Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Hurst was injured last week during joint practices with the Vikings and hasn't practiced since. According to head coach Kevin Stefanski, the Michigan product is "getting better," but he still isn't ready to return to the field.

Hurst and the Browns agreed on a one-year, $3.2 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hurst finished the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, but prior to going down, he recorded 22 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also adding an interception, three pass deflections and a fumble recovery over 13 games in his first season with the Browns. The 28-year-old will likely operate as a primary backup option behind Dalvin Tomlinson and Jordan Elliott on Cleveland's defensive line again in 2024.

Hurst (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve, Tuesday.

Hurst suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, and his move to IR will guarantee he'll miss at least the next four weeks. However, according to Hurst's own tweet, his season is over, signaling that the injury is significant enough that he won't return no matter the length of a playoff run the Browns potentially put together. Hurst's absence moving forward will likely lead to extra opportunities for Siaki Ika and Shelby Harris on the interior of the Browns' defensive line.

Hurst (pectoral) is questionable to return in Cleveland's matchup versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegramreports.

Hurts exited Sunday with a pectoral injury making his status for the rest of the game uncertain. If the 28-year-old is unable to return, Shelby Harris should see increased playing time.

Hurst (calf) was a full participant in Friday's practice and carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Hurst sustained the calf injury in the Browns' Week 13 loss to the Rams. He missed Wednesday's practice session but ramped up throughout the week and is set to play Sunday.

Hurst (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Hurst signed with the Browns on Thursday, the Browns' official site reports.

Hurst (biceps) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Hurst is the first player to be placed on IR for the 2022 season. He's expected to miss the entire season due to a torn biceps. San Francisco signed veteran defensive lineman Akeem Spence in a corresponding move.

Hurst (biceps) tore his biceps and will likely miss the entire season, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.

The 49ers defense took another blow during the first week of camp as Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) and Arik Armstead (knee) are also nursing injuries of their own. After spending much of last season on injured reserve with ankle and calf injuries, Hurst signed a one-year contract with San Francisco where he was expected to compete for snaps on the interior of the defensive line. There's a chance the veteran defensive tackle could return later in the season depending on the recovery timeline, but the injury leaves the 49ers dangerously thin at defensive tackle in the meantime.

Hurst was initially released but then re-signed the same one-year deal with San Francisco that he signed in March of 2022.

Hurst will get a chance after all to make up for an injury-ridden 2021 campaign with the 49ers. He appeared in just two games, recording 40 defensive snaps and two solo tackles over that brief stretch.

Hurst signed a one-year extension with the 49ers on Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Hurst endured an injury-plagued 2021 campaign, as he was limited to only two games due to ankle and calf issues. He will return for his second season in San Francisco in 2022 and should remain a depth piece along the defensive line.

Hurst (calf) is out Sunday against the Texans, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Hurst has been out since Week 5 against the Cardinals with the injury and still hasn't been practicing with the team.

Hurst (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday night's contest against the Titans, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Hurst will miss his third consecutive game with the injury. He began the week with two limited practices but was unable to take the field in any fashion Friday. If that indicates that Hurst suffered a setback, he could be in jeopardy of also missing the team's Week 14 matchup against Cincinnati.

Hurst (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Hurst had already missed last week's game against the Jaguars and hasn't taken the field since Week 5, so his absence shouldn't modify San Francisco's defensive plans for this contest. His next chance to play will come Dec. 5 on the road against Seattle.

Hurst (calf) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News.

Hurst has played just 40 snaps this season, 20 each in Week 4 and Week 5, and he hasn't seen action since he faced the Cardinals in October. He has logged minimal playing time all year long, so Hurst's absence should change San Francisco's defensive plans for this upcoming contest. His next chance to feature will come Oct. 28 at home against Minnesota.

Hurst (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

The 49ers are signing Hurst (calf) to a contract, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Hurst will provide the 49ers with quality depth at interior defensive line, and at just 25-years-old he still has some developmental upside. The calf issue that held him out of the 2020 regular-season finale doesn't appear to be any cause for concern at this point.

The Raiders waived Hurst (calf) on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hurst has served as a key depth player along the Raiders' defensive line since joining the team in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, but the addition of Quinton Jefferson this offseason made his spot on the roster expendable. As long as teams around the league aren't concerned about the calf injury that caused Hurst to sit out Week 17 last season, he could be claimed on waivers.

Hurst (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Hurst managed to play through his calf injury versus the Dolphins in Week 16, but he won't be available for the regular-season finale in Denver. Through 11 appearances this season, the third-year pro managed 27 tackles (14 solo), 0.5 sacks and one defended pass.

Hurst will miss his third straight contest due to a lingering ankle injury. He normally handles a rotational role along Las Vegas' interior defensive line.

Hurst (ankle) has been deemed questionable for the Raiders' upcoming Sunday night game against the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Hurst was limited throughout the practice week after being ruled out for a second consecutive game last Sunday against the Broncos. Hurst exited Week 8 against the Browns after just six plays because of the ankle injury, and his status remains unclear with his practice participation static. Given that there are five different Las Vegas defensive linemen residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Hurst's presence in the lineup becomes more crucial for a matchup against the Chiefs.

Hurst (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Hurst will be sidelined for a second straight divisional matchup, but he'll look to break the streak next week against Kansas City. His first objective will be to return to practice, though, as the third-year defensive tackle has missed six straight sessions.

Hurst (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Jon Gruden said that Hurst suffered a sprained ankle in Sunday's win over the Browns, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Gruden suggested that he didn't believe it was a serious injury, but the third-year defensive tackle will be monitored through the practice week. Hurst is listed as a backup but has handled a consistent role this year, and he's posted 13 tackles, 0.5 sacks and a pass breakup though six games.

Hurst (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Cleveland.

The 25-year-old dealt with a 10-day stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list throughout mid-October, but he hadn't yet confronted any injury issues throughout the first half of his third NFL campaign. Should Hurst prove incapable of returning to the field Sunday, defensive tackle depth would be depleted behind starters Maliek Collins and Johnathan Hankins.

Hurst (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Vincent Bonsignore of The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Hurst landed on the COVID-19 list 10 days ago but is now able to return to the practice field. He is averaging a little under 27 defensive snaps per game this season but it's difficult to say what his workload will be like Sunday given his extended absence.

The Raiders placed Hurst on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hurst has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with someone who has. If it's the former, he's expected to miss Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Hurst posted 18 tackles, 3.5 sacks and three pass breakups over 16 games in 2019.

Hurst felt regression in his sophomore campaign, as his numbers dropped from 31 tackles and 4.0 sacks in 2018. The 2018 fifth-round pick averaged 33.5 defensive snaps per contest and picked up his quarterback pressures with 12 (from six). Hurst only made four starts this year as well, so he could face competition in 2020 for a full-time starting gig.

Hurst (ankle) played 30 defensive snaps during Thursday's 33-26 preseason win over the Cardinals.

Hurst did not record a single tackle, but it's encouraging to see him on the field after an ankle injury limited him to 13 games as a rookie. Now fully recovered, the 24-year-old is competing for a rotational role along the Raiders' defensive line.
