Tar Heels in NFL: James Hurst gets his chance; maybe Bears’ woes weren’t Mitch Trubisky’s fault?

Posted Sep 30, 2021
New Orleans Saints tackle James Hurst got his chance last week when starter Terron Armstead suffered an elbow injury. Hurst was in for a season-high 55 snaps and is sure to get more work. More observers think Chicago's offensive woes last season should be blamed on Coach Matt Nagy and not on quarterback Mitch Trubisky, now the backup in Buffalo. (Tar Heel Tribune)
