49ers Sign Maurice Hurst
4 years agoThe San Francisco signed free-agent defensive tackle Maurice Hurst to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Hurst had eight sacks in his three seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, but the former fifth-round draft pick in 2018 was waived last week. The 49ers had some depth issues on their defensive line last season, so Hurst will help bolster that depth in 2021. Hurst was a projected first-round pick out of Michigan until he was diagnosed with a heart condition that kept him from taking part in the NFL combine. He will be expected to provide depth on the defensive line alongside DJ Jones and Javon Kinlaw this season.
