Hurst (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Hurst practiced without limitations Tuesday and Wednesday after being designated to return from injured reserve Monday. If Hurst is activated from IR and plays Thursday for the first time since Week 10, he could step in as a starter with Will Dislly (shoulder) having been ruled out. However, Hurst may not take on a robust snap count if cleared to play, as Stone Smartt has fared well as a pass catcher the past two weeks and could challenge Hurst for playing time.
