The head injury of Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst, sustained last month, became even more concerning Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The player’s father, Jerry Hurst, announced on social media<\/a> that his son was diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia due to the hit to the head that he took Nov. 9 against the Chicago Bears. Hurst is reportedly out indefinitely.<\/p>\n

@haydenrhurst<\/a> has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Amnesia by an independent neurologist as a result of the hit he took in Chicago November 9. Slow recovery, don\u2019t know when he\u2019ll be back. Prayers app<\/a>reciated!<\/p>\n

You can see the hit that likely caused Hurst’s injury below. The 30-year-old has not played a game<\/a> since his head hit the ground at Soldier Field, having been marked out for every game due to a concussion.<\/p>\n

What’s curious is that the elder Hurst made his announcement the same day Hayden returned to practice. In the weeks since the injury, Hurst had been marked as a non-participant due to a concussion on the Panthers’ injury report, but he was labeled as a limited participant Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Panthers’ website noted his return, reporting<\/a> that he was on the field wearing a red no-contact jersey for his first work with the team since his injury. It’s unusual to see that kind of public disconnect between a player’s team and family.<\/p>\n

Hurst is in his first season with the Panthers after signing a three-year, $21.7 million deal<\/a> with the team last offseason. The former first-round pick played the previous five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals, posting 1,718 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns while holding his own as a blocker.<\/p>\n

He didn’t have as much success in his first nine game with the Panthers, who have struggled to a 1-11 record and already fired first-year head coach Frank Reich amid myriad offensive issues<\/a>. Hurst’s absence has been yet another obstacle for first overall pick Bryce Young.<\/p>\n

Hurst has also spoken about mental health issues in the past, revealing that he attempted suicide while drunk in 2016<\/a>. He has been sober in the years since then and has remained open about the topic while working as a fundraiser for nonprofits<\/a>.<\/p>\n
