Ted Hurst Loses His Cool
August 22nd, 2026
Rookie receiver Ted Hurst.
Rough night for Buccaneers rookie receiver Ted Hurst.
On the Bucs’ opening drive, Hurst channeled a clown move from The Lost Decade and punched Chiefs cornerback Mansoor Delane in the back of the head. Yes, the zebras saw it and flagged for a 15-yard personal foul.
It was a 2nd-and-8 run by Kenneth Gainwell and Hurst was blocking Delane, who gave him a little extra push (nothing crazy) after the whistle. Hurst responded with a clear left-handed shot to the back of Delane’s helmet.
Joe hopes that was a learning experience for Hurst, who finished with no catches on one target. What made it extra frustrating for Joe was Delane also is a rookie, a first-round pick. So it’s not like Hurst was hounded and irritated by a savvy veteran.
Hurst probably cost himself a little trust from Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.
