The Panthers waived Hodges (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being let go by Washington in January, Hodges signed with Carolina on Aug. 1 to compete for a depth spot at tight end, but he was waived/injured two days later with an unspecified injury. With the injury settlement, Hodges is free to try out with another team once he is fully recovered from whatever is ailing him.

Hodges (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve with the Panthers on Sunday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Hodges will now be slated to miss the entirety of the 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Carolina. The team signed Jacob Hollister on Sunday, providing additional depth at tight end.

The Panthers waived/injured Hodges on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is unclear what injury Hodges is dealing with at this time. If he ultimately goes unclaimed on waivers, the tight end will subsequently revert to Carolina's injured reserve. From there, his season will come to a premature end unless both he and the team can come to terms on an injury settlement once his health is back up to par.

Hodges (back) signed a contract with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hodges closed out his 2023 campaign on injured reserve with the Commanders, but now that he is fully healthy, he'll get an opportunity with the Panthers. His addition comes as the team placed Stephen Sullivan on IR due to a quadriceps injury.

Hodges was waived from injured reserve by the Commanders on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hodges spent the 2023 campaign on the sidelines, dealing with a back injury to wrap up the season, and he will now look for his next opportunity. The tight end has yet to make his NFL debut after going unselected in the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Commanders placed Hodges (back) on their injured reserve list Friday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move means that Hodges probably won't be able to make his NFL debut until next season. His being absent should make it easier for John Bates to earn significant playing time during the home stretch of the year.

Hodges (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Hodges has yet to see game action this season but remains on Washington's 53-man roster. It's unlikely that he'll make his NFL debut while Logan Thomas, John Bates and Cole Turner are healthy and ahead of him on the TE depth chart.

Hodges (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Hodges was able to land a spot on the 53-man roster as the No. 4 tight end, but he'll be a healthy inactive for the second straight week. His next opportunity to play will be Week 3 against the Bills.

Hodges has a spot on Washington's initial 53-man roster, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hodges made an impression last summer as an undrafted rookie before a thigh injury sent him to injured reserve at the beginning of September. Coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday that he views Hodges as a rookie after the lost 2022 season, so the Commanders may be patient and give the 6-foot-8 24-year-old some time to develop behind Logan Thomas (calf), John Bates and Cole Turner.

Hodges returned to practice Sunday after being out due to a hamstring injury, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hodges' ability to return to practice is good news for the 24-year-old. After spending the majority of 2022 on IR, the second-year tight end will continue working to earn a spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster.
