James Hurst emerges for rare first-team opportunity

Posted Aug 20, 2015
Ravens starting right tackle Rick Wagner couldn’t finish practice Wednesday after suffering an apparent leg injury, forcing a second-year player who has largely toiled under the radar onto the field. James Hurst, who last year started five games and became the first undrafted rookie to start a playoff game at left tackle, was thrust into the first-team fold in an opportunity he said was necessary.
