The Cleveland Browns have gotten overwhelmed with injury news over the past two days. The devastating news is that standout defensive tackle Maurice Hurst has been placed on Injured Reserve. He is now out for the remainder of the season.
As he heads to the IR, Hurst made a point to express his gratitude to his fellow teammates, the Browns, and the city of Cleveland:
“My 2023 season is over, and the frustration is unbearable. However I am grateful to my teammates, coaches, staff, and the city of Cleveland for welcoming me and making me a part of this family…. I’ll be back better than before.”
Hurst was one of the better pass rushing defensive tackles in all of football this season, finishing his year top 15 in pass rush win rate. As he is once again set for free agency again this offseason, a return to the Browns and Cleveland would put a silver lining on another injury for the veteran defensive tackle.
