Hodge didn't play in Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
For a second straight week, Hodge was in street clothes, along with Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud and Jamal Agnew, who are all expected to make the initial 53-man roster. Hodge has spent the past three seasons in Atlanta, splitting time between offense and special teams. During that stretch, he's totaled 34 receptions on 55 targets for 565 yards and two scores. He signed a two-year deal to return to Atlanta this offseason.

Hodge is re-signing with the Falcons on a two-year, $6 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge rejoins Atlanta, where he's spent the last three years handling a depth role on offense while contributing as a key special-teamer. He's suited up for all 17 regular-season games in each of those years, having secured seven of 12 targets for 131 yards and one score in 2024.

Hodge (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge had a LP/DNP/LP practice log this week while working through a rib injury, and the 29-year-old wideout has done enough to suit up for Sunday's contest. Hodge has logged 11 snaps on offense in the Falcons' three games since the Week 12 bye and has not registered a target over that span.

Hodge (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge sees substantial offensive snaps only if one of Drake London, Darnell Mooney or Ray-Ray McCloud is injured, and that's not the case this week. Over the last three weeks, Hodge has played a combined 12 offensive snaps. If he's unable to go against the Giants, his absence would mainly be felt on special teams.

Hodge played one snap on offense and 14 on special teams in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge was one of five wideouts active for Atlanta in Week 14, but he and practice-squad call-up Chris Blair combined to play just one snap on offense while the trio of Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud took on nearly all the available reps at receiver. Though the 29-year-old Hodge is expected to continue to suit up on game days, he'll continue to see most of his opportunities on the Falcons' kick coverage units.

Hodge (neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
With Darnell Mooney (Achilles) and Drake London (hip) also avoiding injury designations, Hodge figures to have his usual role as the No. 4 wide receiver in an offense that rarely takes any of its top three guys off the field.

Hodge (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge wasn't able to practice Wednesday due to a neck injury. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers. In the three regular-season games before the Falcons' Week 12 bye, Hodge logged three catches (on four targets) for 31 yards.

Hodge (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge appears to be dealing with a neck injury following Atlanta's Week 12 bye that held him out of Wednesday's practice. The Prairie View A&M product will likely miss the Falcons' Week 13 matchup against the Chargers if he can't upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday.

Hodge caught both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Hodge caught multiple passes for a second time this season. However, outside of those two outings, he's been targeted in only one other game. He's played double-digit offensive snaps in four of the last eight games, but, more often than not, he's left completely out of the Falcons' offensive game plan.

Hodge caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Drake London (hip) left the game late in the first quarter and didn't return, thrusting Hodge into an expanded role. He played a season-high 45 offensive snaps, his previous high-water mark was 18, and was targeted for the first time since Week 5, when he had a game-winning touchdown in overtime versus Tampa Bay. London is considered day-to-day, but if he's forced to miss time, Hodge could sneak on fantasy radars, though Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud would be the Falcons' top wideouts.
