The Bears’ practice squad now consists of:

1. OL Ryan Seymour
2. C Barrett Jones

5. WR Deonte Thompson 
6. RB Paul Kasike 
7. LB Jonathan Anderson
8. TE Gannon Sinclair

Hurst, 24, re-signed with the Bears as an exclusive free agent back in February. However, he was waived a few weeks ago and later added to their practice squad.

This season, Hurst has appeared in one game for the Bears and recorded a single tackle.

For what it’s worth, Pro Football Focus had Hurst rated as the No. 51 cornerback out of 108 qualifying players in 2014.
