Panthers' Hayden Hurst: Post-traumatic amnesia won't end career

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst does not believe the post-traumatic amnesia he was diagnosed with by an independent neurologist after suffering a concussion will be career-ending.
"I'm doing better each say,'' the 30-year-old Hurst wrote ESPN on Thursday in a text message. "It's not going to end my career, just being cautious as I come back. Should be another week or two.''
Hurst's father, Jerry, posted the message about his son's condition on Wednesday evening a few hours after Hayden appeared at practice for the first time since suffering the concussion in the Nov. 9 game at Chicago in a red jersey that limits him from contact.
