• Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Disappointing season in LA

  02/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hurst appeared in nine regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024, recording eight catches (on 13 targets) for 73 yards. Hurst joined the Chargers on a one-year contract last March, with expectations of bouncing back after a down year in Carolina. Instead, the 31-year-old set career-low marks across the board, including not recording a touchdown for the first time in his seven-year career. A hip injury, which led to a stint on IR, derailed any momentum he may have been building early in the season with his new squad. Ultimately, he finished the campaign as a healthy scratch in their wild-card matchup against the Texans.

  Hurst is a healthy inactive for Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans. The veteran was the team's preferred pass-catching tight end earlier this season, but Hurst has been used sparingly since returning from a hip injury in Week 16, tallying just 14 total offensive snaps over the final three games of the regular season.

• Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Invisible in Week 18 loss

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hurst was not targeted during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders. The veteran tight end returned from a one-game absence due to illness, but he played just six offensive snaps versus Las Vegas while working behind a healthy Will Dissly. Hurst is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so the playoffs, beginning with Saturday's wild-card round matchup against the Texans, will be his final chance to impress other teams. Across nine regular-season appearances in 2024, Hurst has secured just eight of 13 targets for 73 yards, and he hasn't played more than eight offensive snaps in a game since Week 4.

• Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Moves past ailment

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hurst (illness) wasn't listed Wednesday on the Chargers' initial Week 18 injury report. Hurst was held out of this past Saturday's win over the Patriots due to an illness. However, his exclusion from Los Angeles' first injury report of this week suggests the veteran tight end has since moved past ailment. Hurst thus is on track to play in Sunday's game against Las Vegas, and he'll likely work as the team's No. 2 or 3 tight end.
