Hayden Hurst News
Monday, March 9, 6:12 PM
The Atlanta Falcons announced on Monday that veteran tight end Hayden Hurst is announcing his retirement from professional football. Hurst will hang up his cleats after not being signed with a team during the 2025 season. In his final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers, the 32-year-old caught a career-low eight passes for 73 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets in nine regular-season games. Hurst was originally the 25th overall pick in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018 out of South Carolina. He finishes his seven-year NFL career with 203 receptions (294 targets) for 1,975 yards and 15 touchdowns in 88 regular-season games (41 starts). In addition to the Chargers and Ravens, Hurst suited up with the Atlanta Falcons (two years), Cincinnati Bengals (one year), and Carolina Panthers (one year). He was at his best in 202 in Atlanta, posting a 56-571-6 line in 16 games.

Tucker Kraft News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:15 AM
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list this summer, but he should be "full-go" by the time the team visits the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 regular-season opener in September, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft was arguably the league's best player at the TE position in 2025 before he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 9, as he had 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. The 25-year-old former third-round pick (78th overall) in 2023 out of South Dakota State has looked swift while rehabbing on a side field during offseason workouts, and he said he recently hit 21.5 mph on foot. As long as Kraft doesn't suffer any sort of setbacks during training camp and the preseason, he'll be a popular breakout candidate at the TE position after his strong showing in eight games a year ago. The Packers let receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, so even more targets could be coming Kraft's way in 2026. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE.
