Ravens' James Hurst valuing week of preparation with starters after coming in cold Monday

Posted Oct 31, 2015
Left tackle James Hurst doesn’t put his preparation on cruise control when he’s not slated to be a starter, but he’s shuffled from the bench to the starting lineup and back enough to know there’s a difference in preparing all week as a starter. Monday’s substitution into the Arizona Cardinals game in place of starter Eugene Monroe (shoulder) was the third time he’s entered mid-game during the last two seasons. (Baltimore Sun)
