Hurst and the Browns agreed on a one-year, $3.2 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hurst finished the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, but prior to going down, he recorded 22 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also adding an interception among three pass defenses and a fumble recovery over 13 games in his first season with the Browns. The 28-year-old will likely operate as a primary backup option behind Dalvin Tomlinson and Jordan Elliott on Cleveland's defensive line again in 2024.

Browns' Maurice Hurst: Goes on IR
Rotowire
Hurst (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Hurst suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, and his move to IR will guarantee he'll miss at least the next four weeks. However, according to Hurst's own tweet, his season is over, signaling the injury is significant enough that he won't return no matter the length of a playoff run the Browns potentially put together. Hurst's absence moving forward will likely lead to extra opportunities for Siaki Ika and Shelby Harris on the interior of the Browns' defensive line.

49ers' Maurice Hurst: Expected to miss 2022 season
Rotowire
Hurst (biceps) has torn his biceps and will likely miss the entire season, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.
The 49ers defense took another blow during the first week of camp, as Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) and Arik Armstead (knee) are also nursing injuries of their own. After spending much of last season on injured reserve with ankle and calf injuries, Hurst signed a one-year contract with San Francisco, where he was expected to compete for snaps on the interior of the defensive line. There's a chance the veteran defensive tackle could return later in the season depending on the recovery timeline, but the injury leaves the 49ers dangerously thin at defensive tackle in the meantime.

49ers' Maurice Hurst: Out against Jacksonville
Rotowire
Hurst (calf) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News.
Hurst has played just 40 snaps this season -- 20 each in Week 4 and Week 5 -- and he hasn't seen action since he faced the Cardinals in October. As such, Hurst's absence shouldn't change San Francisco's defensive plans for this upcoming contest. His next chance to feature will come Nov. 28 at home against Minnesota.

Hurst will provide the 49ers with quality depth at interior defensive line, and at just 25-years-old he still has some developmental upside. The calf issue that held him out of the 2020 regular-season finale doesn't appear to be any cause for concern at this point.
