Former Bengals TE Hayden Hurst gets a scary brain injury diagnosis

Some exits are harder than others, and when the Cincinnati Bengals lost Hayden Hurst, it was a painful loss for the fanbase.

Hurst was a fan-favorite player and a focal point in the team’s offense last season before signing with the Carolina Panthers the following offseason.

Sadly, Hurst is now dealing with a serious brain injury following a big hit he took on Nov. 9 against the Chicago Bears. According to his father, Hurst has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Amnesia (PTA).
