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.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday that Hurst (ankle) is considered week-to-week, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Hurst logged three total tackles while playing 29 total snaps (22 defensive and seven on special teams) during the Browns' Week 1 contest before sustaining an ankle injury. Expect Quinton Jefferson to see more work as a rotational interior defensive lineman while Hurst recovers.

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.

Hurst (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Hurst suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, and his move to IR will guarantee he'll miss at least the next four weeks. However, according to Hurst's own tweet, his season is over, signaling the injury is significant enough that he won't return no matter the length of a playoff run the Browns potentially put together. Hurst's absence moving forward will likely lead to extra opportunities for Siaki Ika and Shelby Harris on the interior of the Browns' defensive line.

Hurst (pectoral) is questionable to return in Cleveland's matchup versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Hurts exited Sunday with a pectoral injury making his status for the rest of the game uncertain. If the 28-year-old is unable to return, Shelby Harris should see increased playing time.
