Hurst was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hurst hasn't yet missed a game this season, though he did pop up on the injury report with an ankle issue in late November. The fact that the tight end is practicing in at least a limited capacity to start the week is a hint that he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Saints, barring any setbacks.
