The Panthers placed tight end Hayden Hurst on injured reserve Friday, ending his season, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Hurst suffered a concussion late in the Week 10 Chicago game and remains in the concussion protocol.

He's missed the last four games because of the injury and only began doing individual drills in a red no-contact jersey last week. He was absent this week.

The veteran pass-catcher, signed as a free agent from the Bengals this offseason, finished with 18 catches for 184 yards and a touchdown this year.
