San Francisco 49ers DT Maurice Hurst tore his bicep in practice Friday.

I Appreciate all of the love and support from everyone, I really can’t begin to explain how much this hurts. I hope through my resiliency and this journey that i’m able to inspire those who follow me to keep pushing, work hard and never give up
