Hurst didn't record a catch on one target in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.
With Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) inactive, Hurst was expected to take on an expanded offensive role, but it was actually Tez Johnson who saw the bigger bump in playing time. Johnson played 41 snaps to Hurst's 35 and ran one more route (12) than the rookie wide receiver. The Bucs clobbered the Panthers, and Baker Mayfield was forced to drop back to pass just 12 times on the afternoon.
