Out for season
Hurley (hip) was placed on the inactive list by Essendon on Monday and will miss the rest of the season.
ANALYSIS
Hurley had been making improvements from an offseason hip infection, but the chance to pick up an extra player at the mid-season draft meant a decision on his return had to be made sooner rather than later.

No timetable for return
Hurley faces an unclear timetable to retake the field following a severe hip infection, the AFL's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hurley reportedly lost a significant amount of weight while he was in the hospital, leading to the extended recovery ahead. The team should provide more information on his status when he's ready to rejoin the action.

Back for finale
Hurley (ankle) will rejoin the lineup for Saturday's season finale versus Melbourne.
ANALYSIS
Hurley had been hobbled by an ankle issue on a couple of occasions, most recently costing him the Round 17 match versus the Power. He will aim to close the season out on a high note Friday as the Bombers look to play spoiler for the Demons' chances of making the postseason.

Out for Round 17
Hurley will not play Saturday versus the Power due to ankle joint inflammation.
ANALYSIS
The expected length of Hurley's absence is unclear, but it would likely take a return next week for him to see action again in 2020, given the team's current placement in the ladder.
