1) There is no injury. He was benched for mouthing off to someone. This will not be a long term issue because Hurd is 6 months from being drafted, and he's going to do whatever is necessary to maximize his draft stock (even if he and the coaches aren't on the same page).
2) He was displaying minor concussion symptoms, and the coaching staff in downplaying this because they know they could be in trouble for putting him back out on the field for the kickoff. This would explain why he didn't practice Monday and Tuesday (if this is the case).
