- Hurst, a two-year Brown who knows Jim Schwartz’s system, could be elevated for Sunday’s game against the Bears, according to local reporting.
- Yahoo Sports reports the team also placed center Ethan Pocic on injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles and put running back Jerome Ford on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
- Further moves included signing tackle Jeremiah Byers off the Cardinals’ practice squad, adding running back Trayveon Williams from the Chargers’ practice squad, promoting cornerback Tre Avery to the 53-man roster, and waiving safety Christopher Edmonds.
