Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst is working his way back to the field after sustaining a head injury against the Chicago Bears last month that caused post-traumatic amnesia.
He made his first public comments regarding the injury Thursday, detailing the events that followed his hard impact with the grass at Solider Field. His head hit the ground after taking a big hit from Bears safety Jaquan Brisker during the fourth quarter of the Nov. 9 loss.
"I appreciate everyone reaching out & checking on me," he wrote on X. "I suffered a pretty nasty concussion against the Bears a few weeks ago & don't remember up to 4 hours after the game.
