Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Limited in practice again

Hurst missed last week's game with a calf injury

Tight end Hayden Hurst was limited in practice again on Wednesday due to a calf injury, according to the Chargers' official injury report. Hurst missed last week's game against the Bengals with the injury. It's unclear if he will be able to play this week against the Browns.

Hurst is a key part of the Chargers' offense

Hurst has been a key part of the Chargers' offense this season, catching 15 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns in six games. He is one of Justin Herbert's favorite targets, and his absence would be a big blow to the Chargers' passing attack.

If Hurst is unable to play, the Chargers will likely turn to Donald Parham Jr. and Tre' McKitty to fill his role. Parham has been a solid contributor this season, catching 10 passes for 104 yards and one touchdown. McKitty is a rookie who has yet to catch a pass this season.

The Chargers are hoping that Hurst will be able to play this week, but they will have to wait and see how he responds to treatment. If he is unable to go, the Chargers will have to find a way to replace his production on the field.
