Hurst (concussion) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry a game designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers.
Analysis: Hurst sustained a concussion during the Saints' Week 10 loss to the Steelers, leaving him sidelined for the following game against the Rams. However, the 31-year-old appears to have cleared protocols, and should step back in as New Orleans' starting left tackle against the 49ers' dangerous pass rush.

Hurst (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Hurst was forced out with a concussion during the Saints' Week 10 loss to the Steelers, leaving him sidelined for each practice ahead of Sunday's game. The starting left tackle will now look to clear the league's protocols before New Orleans' next game against San Francisco on Sunday, Nov. 27. With the availability of guard Andrus Peat (triceps) up in the air, the Saints may be left with a patchwork offensive line against the Rams' dominant defensive front.

Hurst (foot) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Hurst appears fully recovered from the foot injury he sustained mid-August, which is a huge boon for the Saints heading into a Week 1 matchup against the division-rival Falcons. The 30-year-old looks primed to start at left tackle until rookie first-rounder Trevor Penning (toe) returns from IR.

Coach Dennis Allen said after Friday's preseason finale against the Chargers that he believes Hurst (foot) will return "sooner than later," Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hurst sustained his foot injury in mid-August and was held out for Friday's matchup. It sounds as though the 30-year-old will have a chance to return to action in time for the Saints' Week 1 matchup against Atlanta on Sept. 11, which would be particularly crucial since rookie Trevor Penning sustained a toe injury Friday. Once he's healthy, Hurst is expected to serve as the Saints' starting left tackle.

Hurst is dealing with a foot injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Dennis Allen relayed to the media that Hurst is dealing with a foot issue, but he failed to elaborate much on the matter. The severity of the injury is unknown, but Hurst missing any time would be a blow to the Saints' offensive. The veteran left tackle projects to be the starter this season, though rookie Trevor Penning has the tools to be a starting-caliber tackle. Penning was chosen 19th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, but is a bit raw at this early stage of his career. Hurst's injury is one to monitor, as it could have a major impact on the Saints' offense.

Hurst will be suspended for the first four games of the 2020 regular season for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Entering the third season of a four-year, $17.5 million contract, Hurst already has been mentioned as a potential cap casualty, and a suspension won't help his chances to stick around. The 28-year-old has made 44 starts in six seasons with Baltimore, most recently serving as the top backup for both tackle spots. Hurst has never been especially good, but his ability to play every O-line spot besides center at a competent level does provide some value to an NFL team.
