HAYDEN HURST NEWS

Remains limited Thursday Hurst (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact The groin issue has prevented Hurst from practicing fully in both of the Bengals' first Week 5 sessions, but he'll have one more chance Friday to increase his activity before the team decides whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's game in Baltimore. Through four games this season, Cincinnati's top tight end has recorded 14 receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown on 21 targets.

Limited with groin injury Hurst (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Hurst played through the groin injury the past two weeks, improving to a 56 percent snap share and a 3-27-1 receiving line in last Thursday's win over the Dolphins after seeing just 38 percent of snaps and two targets four days earlier against the Jets. He had larger workloads the first two weeks of the season before he was listed on the injury report, totaling 15 targets on 75 and 81 percent of snaps in a pair of Bengals losses. In any case, Hurst should play through the injury again this Sunday in Baltimore, so long as he's able to continue practicing on at least a limited basis. The Ravens took him 25th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, seven picks before quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Finds end zone in win Hurst caught three of four targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 27-15 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Hurst powered through multiple tackle attempts for a 19-yard gain on the game's third play but didn't see much involvement after that until Joe Burrow found the tight end for the game-sealing two-yard touchdown just after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. While Hurst has compiled a respectable 21 targets through four games with the Bengals, he has yet to reach 50 yards in a game while working as a secondary option in a passing game led by wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.

Logs full practice Hurst (groin) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Hurst was questionable going into Week 3, but he was able to suit up Sunday against the Jets. However, he played only 39 percent of the team's offensive snaps, less than No. 2 tight end Mitchell Wilcox's season-high 56 percent. After being labeled a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate, a move to full participant Tuesday suggests Hurst is on the mend, and he could receive a normal workload Thursday against the Dolphins.

Still dealing with groin injury Hurst (groin) was limited on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Hurst tended to a groin injury during Week 3 prep and entered this past weekend as questionable. He was able to suit up Sunday at the Jets, playing the second-most offensive snaps (26 of 68) among Bengals tight ends behind Mitchell Wilcox (39) and ahead of Devin Asiasi (24). Hurst ended up hauling in one of two targets for seven yards, but his health concern continues to bother him as the team prepares for Thursday's showdown with the Dolphins.

Active as expected Hurst (groin) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Hurst was listed as questionable after he practiced in a limited fashion Friday, but he's been cleared to take the field Week 3. The 29-year-old has caught 10 of 15 targets for 70 yards through the first two games of the year and should continue operating as Cincinnati's No. 1 tight end Sunday.

In line to play Sunday Hurst (groin) is expected to play Sunday at the Jets, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

Impact Hurst opened Week 3 prep with a limited session before returning to full participation Thursday. He then logged a capped practice Friday, when Russini reported that Hurst endured a setback with his groin injury. Still, Hurst now is "good to go" Sunday, with his status to be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Week 3 Hurst (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after being limited in practice Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Hurst sandwiched Thursday's full practice between a pair of limited sessions. He'll likely be able to suit up barring a setback, but if Hurst can't go Sunday, the Bengals would be down to third- and fourth-stringers Mitchell Wilcox and Devin Asiasi at tight end with Drew Sample (knee) sidelined.

Practices fully Hurst (groin) returned to a full practice Thursday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hurst, who was on the field for 57 of 70 snaps on offense and caught five of his seven targets for 24 yards in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, thus is slated to continue to start at tight end Sunday against the Jets. Through two games, he's logged 15 total targets and recorded back-to-back five-catch efforts, a level of output that gives the 29-year-old modest fantasy utility in PPR formats.

Limited by groin injury Hurst was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact In the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, Hurst was on the field for 57 of 70 snaps on offense and caught five of his seven targets for 24 yards. With a limited showing Wednesday, the tight end's status is now worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Jets approaches. With Drew Sample out with a knee injury, Mitchell Wilcox and Devin Asiasi are next up for reps at tight end behind Hurst.

Five catches Sunday Hurst caught five of seven targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The veteran tight end saw healthy target volume for the second straight game, finishing just behind Tee Higgins (10) and Ja'Marr Chase (nine), but Hurst's longest reception went for only eight yards. With the Bengals' offensive line having major issues protecting Joe Burrow, Hurst could continue to be a bail-out option for the QB heading into a Week 3 clash with the Jets.
