Hodges (knee) cleared waivers and reverted to Jacksonville's PUP list Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges suffered a knee injury last November and was waived with a failed physical designation Wednesday. The third-year guard wasn't claimed off waivers, so he's now reverted to the Jaguars' PUP list. It's unclear how far along Hodges is in his recovery from the knee issue.

The Jaguars waived Hodges (knee) with a failed physical designation Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges was carted off the field with a knee injury in Week 9 last season. He was subsequently placed on injured reserve. Hodges appeared in nine games last season, making one start. He played a total of 63 offensive snaps and another 31 on special teams.

The Jaguars placed Hodges (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges was carted off the field with a knee injury in the Jaguars' Week 9 loss to the Eagles, so his placement on IR on Monday comes as no surprise. He was starting in place of the injured Ezra Cleveland (ankle) on Sunday, meaning Blake Hance may serve as Jacksonville's top left guard in Week 10's matchup against the Vikings if Cleveland remains sidelined.

Hodges (leg) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges was carted off the field in the second half after suffering a leg injury, so it comes as no surprise that he won't be able to return. Blake Hance will handle a greater workload at offensive guard in his absence.

Hodges (back) played 49 snaps on offense and one snap on defense in Saturday's 26-13 preseason win against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges was held out of practice due to a back injury, but he was healthy enough to suit up for Jacksonville's preseason opener, and he played the second-most snaps on the team behind fellow guard Cole Van Lanen. Hodges missed all of 2023 with a season-ending patella injury, and the 2023 seventh-rounder is competing for a reserve role on the Jags' offensive line.

Hodges missed Wednesday's practice with a back injury, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year offensive lineman out of Appalachian State is now dealing with a back issue, which could jeopardize his chances of making Jacksonville's 53-man roster. Once Hodges returns to full health, he's expected to compete for a depth role on the Jaguars' offensive line.

Hodges (knee) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, Justin Lewis of the Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges sustained a patella injury in the Jaguars' second preseason game last year. He missed the entire regular season after being placed on the IR on August 31. The 2023 seventh-round pick appears to have recovered from the injury, and he should provide the Jaguars with depth on the offensive line for the upcoming season.

The Jaguars placed Hodges (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges sustained a patella injury in the Jaguars' second preseason game against the Lions on Aug. 19 and missed the rest of training camp. The 2023 seventh-round pick out of Appalachian State will now be forced to sit out for the first four games of the season.

Hodges is dealing with a patella injury and is expected to miss the remainder of training camp, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges suffered the injury in the team's preseason win over the Lions on Saturday. Although a timetable for his return is still not in place, it seems safe to say the rookie seventh-round selection is in jeopardy of missing the season opener against the Colts, assuming he does make the team's final 53-man roster.

Hodges (knee) is believed to be dealing with a patellar injury, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodges went down with a knee injury in Saturday's 25-7 preseason win over the Lions, and head coach Doug Pederson said after the game that Hodges likely injured his patellar tendon. If that's the case, the offensive lineman could be forced to miss most, if not all, of the 2023 campaign.
