The Chargers new signing Hayden Hurst has revealed how he overcame a serious concussion last season at the Panthers.
The tight end was a round one pick on 2018, and has played for the Ravens, Falcons, Bengals, Panthers and now the LA Chargers, bringing experience to a roster that needs to fire instantly.
“I had the concussion and for a week after it was a little touch-and-go, but I went to the Mayo Clinic down in Jacksonville, got a second opinion, got full clear bill of health,” Hurst said. “The only reason I sat out as long as I did was just, from the front office, there was really no point. They were 2-15, or 2-13 at the time, so there was really no point in rushing back.”
The Chargers have not won a divisional title since 2009.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh will be looking to get the most out of an underperforming team and will need all players to keep their head in the game.
