As expected, Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst will miss his fourth straight game.
The team has ruled out the sixth-year pass catcher for their Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints due to his concussion. Hurst, per his father Jerry, had been diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia by an independent neurologist.
On Thursday, Hurst tweeted the concussion is not a career-ending injury and that he hopes to make it back to the field for the last few outings of the season. He has not played in a game since sustaining the concussion in Week 10.
Carolina also ruled out defensive lineman DeShawn Williams. Williams has not participated in practice all week due to a knee injury.
