College career

Professional career

Washington Redskins

2011 season

Hurt was drafted in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. [4] He was waived on September 3, 2011, but signed to the practice squad on September 4, 2011. [5] On October 19, 2011, Hurt was signed to the active roster. In Week 9 against San Francisco 49ers, Hurt made his NFL debut and first career start as left guard of the offensive line. [6] Hurt continued to start as the left guard for the rest of the season replacing Kory Lictensteiger, who was out for the season due to tearing his ACL.

2012 season

During the 2012 offseason, Hurt stated that he was getting practice reps at the tackle position. [7] [8] During training camp, he split snaps at left guard with Josh LeRibeus after Kory Lichtensteiger had arthroscopic surgery and split snaps at right tackle with Tyler Polumbus and Willie Smith after Jammal Brown was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. [9] [10] After playing as a reserve guard for most of the season, Hurt started at right tackle in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles for Tyler Polumbus, who suffered a concussion in the previous game. [11] [12]

2013 season

Hurt was placed on the Redskins PUP list on August 31 to allow him to recover from arthroscopic knee surgery, meaning he would miss at least the first six games of the 2013 season. [13] The team moved him from the PUP list to injured reserve on December 4, 2013. [14]

2014 season

The Redskins waived him on August 30, 2014 for final roster cuts before the start of the 2014 season. [15]
