Hayden Hurst

Panthers TE Hayden Hurst (concussion) is out for Sunday s game vs. the Titans. With Hurst sidelined last week, Tommy Tremble led Carolina TEs with a 68% route rate and caught one of three targets for four yards and a score. He d be a desperation Week 12 fantasy play.

Panthers TE Hayden Hurst is in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday. He's unlikely to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys. Hurst hasn't topped three catches in a game since Week 1, so he shouldn't have been in your fantasy plans anyway. His absence is a boost to TE Tommy Tremble, but he'd be a desperation fantasy play.

The NFL's procedure for spotting players who require concussion evaluations continues to leave much to be desired.

Edge rusher Brian Burns is nearing his return to the Panthers lineup, but another member of the team has been placed in the concussion protocol.
