Dec 25, 2024 3:58 pm: Hurst (illness) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Hurst was held out of Tuesday's session due to an illness, but his ability to participate in Wednesday's walkthrough -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. Thursday's practice report will provide clarity on Hurst's status heading into Saturday's game against the Patriots. Hurst missed five games due to a hip injury but was able to return for Week 16 against the Broncos, finishing with one catch for eight yards while playing eight snaps on offense. He could see a larger role in Week 17 if Will Dissly (shoulder) is not cleared to play.
