  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Invisible in Week 18 loss

    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

    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.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Inactive Saturday

    Hurst (illness) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    While Hurst is unavailable Saturday, the Chargers will welcome Will Dissly (shoulder) back to their lineup, joining Stone Smartt and Tucker Fisk in the team's Week 17 tight end corps. Hurst will thus target a potential return to action next weekend against the Raiders.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Uncertain to play Saturday

    The Chargers list Hurst (illness) as questionable for Saturday's game against the Patriots.

    He's one of two Chargers tight ends taking a questionable tag into the weekend, as Will Dissly (shoulder) is also carrying a designation coming off a two-game absence. Hurst had missed five straight games with a hip injury before coming off injured reserve last week and playing eight snaps in this past Thursday's win over the Broncos. With the illness resulting in him logging just one limited practice this week, Hurst may not be in store for a dramatic increase in playing time Saturday if he's cleared to suit up.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Limited in walk-through practice

    Hurst (illness) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice.

    Hurst was held out of Tuesday's session due to an illness, but his ability to increase his activity Wednesday indicates progress. Thursday's practice report will provide clarity on Hurst's status heading into Saturday's game against the Patriots. Hurst missed five games due to a hip injury but returned to action in the Week 16 win over the Broncos, finishing with one catch for eight yards while playing eight snaps on offense. He could see a larger role in Week 17 if he can overcome his illness and if Will Dissly (shoulder) is forced to miss a third straight game.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Sits out practice with illness

    Hurst was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice due to an illness.

    Hurst missed five straight games with a hip injury before coming off injured reserve and suiting up in last Thursday's 34-27 win over the Broncos. Though top tight end Will Dissly (hip) wasn't available for Week 16, Hurst handled a light role in his return to action, playing just eight snaps and recording an eight-yard reception. Hurst could have a chance to see his role expand Saturday versus the Patriots if he's able to shake off the illness, though the Chargers might also get Dissly back for that game.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Grabs one catch in return

    Hurst caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 34-27 Week 16 win over Denver.

    Hurst suited up for the first time since Week 10 after missing five games due to a hip injury. He logged eight offensive snaps for Los Angeles, much fewer than fellow tight ends Stone Smartt (39 offensive snaps) and Tucker Fisk (28). Hurst's snap share could become more aligned to that of Smartt and Fisk as the former further distances himself from the hip issue, though Will Dissly figures to regain his role as the starter at the position once he's ready to return from a shoulder injury.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Back in action Thursday

    Hurst (hip) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Hurst, who had been sidelined since Week 10, was activated from IR ahead of the contest, and in his return to action he'll provide added depth to a tight end corps that will be without Will Dissly (shoulder). In that context, Hurst has an opportunity to get back into the Chargers' passing game mix in short order while working in tandem with fellow TE Stone Smartt, who logged five catches for 50 yards last weekend in Dissly's absence. With a possible timeshare looming, Hurst profiles as a speculative Week 16 fantasy lineup option.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Activated from IR

    Hurst (hip) has been activated from IR ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos.

    Hurst, who last saw game action Week 10, still carries a questionable designation for the contest, but he's on track to bolster a Chargers' tight end corps that will be without Will Dissly, who's still sidelined with a shoulder injury. Hurst thus should have an opportunity to get right back into the mix Thursday while working alongside fellow TE Stone Smartt, who caught five passes for 50 yards in Week 15 in Dissly's absence.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: On track to be activated

    The Chargers plan to activate Hurst (hip) from IR ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Hurst last saw game action in Week 10, but his looming return to the mix arrives at an opportune time, with fellow tight end Will Dissly still sidelined with a shoulder injury. With that in mind, Hurst should have an opportunity to contribute as pass catcher Thursday while working alongside Stone Smartt, who caught five passes for 50 yards in Week 15 with Dissly inactive.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Questionable after full practices

    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.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Full practice Tuesday

    Hurst (hip) was a full participant at the Chargers' practice Thursday.

    Hurst was designated to return from injured reserve Monday and he officially made his return to the practice field one day later. The tight end has been out since mid-November with a hip injury, missing the Chargers' last four games while on injured reserve. Hurst has caught seven of 12 targets for 65 yards over seven games in 2024. With Will Dissly (shoulder) still banged up, it's possible that Hurst would operate in a significant role Thursday night versus Denver if he gets activated from IR.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Resumes practicing

    The Chargers designated Hurst (hip) for return from injured reserve Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Hurst has already missed the minimum four games after being placed on injured reserve Nov. 25, and he's made enough progress to resume on-field work. The Chargers aren't likely to hold a full slate of practices this week in advance of Thursday's game in Denver, so the veteran tight end may not be able to get in sufficient reps to prove he's ready to rejoin the lineup. When Hurst does get activated, his playing time is likely to hinge on the status of top tight end Will Dissly (shoulder), who sat out Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers and is trending toward missing a second straight game.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Sent to injured reserve

    The Chargers placed Hurst (hip) on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Hurst already had been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Ravens, but he's now going to miss at least the next four contests. Will Dissly and Stone Smartt should handle tight end duties for the Chargers while Hurst is sidelined.

  • Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Won't suit up Monday

    Hurst (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's Week 12 contest against Baltimore.

    Hurst first landed on the Chargers' injury report as a limited participant Friday, and he was unable to practice at all Saturday. Consequently, he'll miss Monday night's matchup against the Ravens. Will Dissly will continue to serve as Los Angeles' top pass-catching tight end, and Tucker Fisk could see more opportunities in Hurst's stead.
