Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst is aiming to play in 2024 after being diagnosed with post-traumatic amnesia earlier this year.
Speaking to ESPN's David Newton about the recovery process, Hurst explained his injury led him to start thinking about life outside of football for the first time.
"The last two weeks, that's all I've thought about," Hurst told ESPN. "I've always been one of those guys where it's just play, you get hurt and now it's going to hurt when you're playing. I've never really thought about down the road, family, future. Unfortunately, when you take a hit like that, it really affects the people around you.
