Impact Hurst spent time on Tampa Bay's practice squad last year, but he was not elevated to the active roster.

Hurst attended Division II West Georgia and caught 40 passes for 654 yards and seven touchdowns during his senior season. He's a long shot to win a role in Indy's deep receiving corps.

Impact The wide receiver was released from the Bucs' practice squad Dec. 14, but he will return ahead of their postseason run. Hurst failed to crack the active roster during his original stint with the team this season and will likely remain an extreme depth option this time around.

Cut from Buccaneers' practice squad Hurst was released from the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The wide receiver signed with the team Nov. 23 but he failed to be elevated from the practice squad for any games prior to his release Tuesday. With Antonio Brown (suspension) nearing a return, Hurst was seemingly the odd man out as the Buccaneers gear up for the playoff push.

Cut by Chargers The Chargers waived Hurst on Monday.

Impact Hurst was competing for a special teams and depth receiver role with the Chargers before getting let go. He spent the second-half of his rookie season on their practice squad after being let go by the Buccaneers. He will now look to find a third potential landing spot.

Comes off PUP list The Chargers activated Hurst (undisclosed) from the PUP list on Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hurst spent the early portion of training camp on the PUP list, but he's now been cleared to practice. The second-year pro is facing steep competition for a depth role in the Chargers' wide receiver room.

Hits PUP list The Chargers placed Hurst (undisclosed) on the PUP list Tuesday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The reason behind Hurst's placement on the list is unclear, but it will prevent the second-year wideout from getting a chance to make an early impression in training camp. When he's cleared to participate, Hurst will likely need to make a big splash in a short timeframe in order to claim a 53-man roster spot.

JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remaining a Charger into 2021 Hurst signed a reserve/future contract with the Chargers on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Hurst linked up with Los Angeles' practice squad in mid-November, after the Buccaneers decided to part ways with the 24-year-old wideout 12 days earlier. He's still in search of his NFL debut, but Hurst will kick off the 2021 league year as a member of the Chargers organization.

Dropped from practice squad The Buccaneers cut Hurst from the practice squad Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hurst made the Buccaneers out of training camp but started the year on IR with an ankle injury. He was waived from the active roster before playing a game, and now he'll look for a new team entirely. Given his ability to already make one NFL team in his career, Hurst should at least be able to find a practice squad role elsewhere.

Returns to practice squad The Buccaneers re-signed Hurst to the practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Hurst was waived by Tampa Bay on Tuesday, but he'll now return to the team's practice squad for a chance to continue developing with the coaching staff. In a corresponding move, fellow wideout Isaac Whitney was cut from the practice squad.

Lands on waivers The Buccaneers waived Hurst on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hurst spent the first six weeks of the season on injured reserve with an ankle injury. He's back to full health, but the Buccaneers cut him, likely with hopes that he'll clear waivers and land on the practice squad after the 24-year-old performed well in training camp.

Activated off IR Hurst (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Monday,

Impact Hurst returned to practice last week and now is officially eligible to see game action Sunday against the Raiders. An undrafted rookie out of Division II West Georgia, Hurst received praise throughout training camp this summer before spraining his ankle -- which landed him on IR. With plenty of mouths to feed in the Buccaneers' offense, the rookie will more than likely serve as a special-teams contributor for the time being.

Back at practice Tuesday Hurst (ankle) returned to practice Tuesday, indicating the beginning of his 21-day window to be activated from IR, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Hurst can return to the lineup as early as Sunday's home game versus the Packers depending on how he responds to a week of practice. The undrafted rookie out of Division II West Georgia likely won't play much on offense once he's healthy, but he could vie for a spot on special teams.

Placed on IR Hurst (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of TampaBay.com reports.

Impact Hurst suffered an ankle injury over a week ago and was most recently seen in a walking boot at the team facility. It appears as if the wideout's season is more than likely over.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to boot Hurst (ankle) is now sporting a boot after being in an air cast over the past week,

Impact The upgrade to a boot means the undrafted rookie wide receiver is one step closer to getting back on the field. However, with cuts looming this weekend, it's difficult to say if Hurst is healthy enough to earn a spot on the roster or practice squad.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers ankle injury Wednesday Hurst suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury in Wednesday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

Impact The undrafted rookie will be further evaluated, but any missed practice time naturally makes his already long odds of nabbing a roster spot even steeper. Coach Bruce Arians said during media availability after Wednesday's practice that Hurst's injury was initially believed to be a sprain, and further details should be available in relatively short order.
