The Browns placed Hurst (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. Hurst was already ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh due to an ankle injury. However, the issue is serious enough that the 2018 fifth-round pick will be placed on injured reserve, which will require him to miss at least the next four regular-season games. That means Hurst could be activated off IR ahead of the Browns' regular-season finale against the Ravens on Sunday, Jan. 5. If Hurst doesn't play Week 18 and assuming the Browns don't make the playoffs, he would end his 2024 campaign with 16 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, across eight regular-season games.

Hurst (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Hurst was unable to practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, and the issue is serious enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's AFC North clash. With Hurst out and Michael Hall (knee) on injured reserve, rookie seventh-rounder Jowon Briggs should see a significant increase in defensive snaps as the Browns' rotational defensive tackle behind starters Dalvin Tomlinson and Shelby Harris.

Hurst (ankle) is active Week 6 against the Eagles. Hurst hasn't seen the field since Week 1 and was only taken off the IR on Saturday, but he'll suit up to provide interior defensive line depth for the Browns in Sunday's road matchup.

Hurst (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Hurst exited the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys with the injury, which will now put him out for at least the next four weeks. His absence will be a blow to the interior of Cleveland's defensive line, which the team will attempt to address with the signing of Sam Kamara from its practice squad. Although a specific return date for Hurst beyond the minimum of four weeks is unknown, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com, head coach Kevin Stefanksi doesn't believe it's a season-ender for the Michigan product.

Hurst and the Browns agreed on a one-year, $3.2 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Hurst finished the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, but prior to going down, he recorded 22 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also adding an interception among three pass defenses and a fumble recovery over 13 games in his first season with the Browns. The 28-year-old will likely operate as a primary backup option behind Dalvin Tomlinson and Jordan Elliott on Cleveland's defensive line again in 2024.
