Hurst finished the 2014 season with 40 tackles and one interception. |
Hurst became the Bears' nickel back when Charles Tillman incurred a season-ending triceps injury in Week 2. While he didn't flash many ball skills, he was able to hold off Sherrick McManus and Al Louis-Jean for snaps. He'll be in the mix for a reserve role again in 2015, but could be sent packing if he struggles to mesh with the team's new coaching staff. |

Hurst was signed to the Bears' 53-man roster Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reports. |
Hurst had two tackles on special teams in the Bears' opener, so it's likely that's where he'll be used this weekend. It's also possible Hurst could see time as a nickel back. |
