Released by the 49ers in October of 2026.Hodge (knee) was waived with an injury settlement by the 49ers on Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hodge appeared in all three games for San Francisco thus far this season, bringing in his only target for 18 yards. There's a chance the team will bring him back once he's healthy, so his days with the organization may not be finished.

Hodge is returning for a fourth season in Atlanta after signing a two-year, $5.5 million deal this offseason. Over the last three years, he's caught 34 of 55 targets for 565 yards and two TDs, including seven receptions for 131 yards and a score in 2024. The Falcons also will be returning WRs Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and Casey Washington, plus they added Jamal Agnew, so it's unlikely Hodge's role on offense grows, even if the unit takes a step forward under QB Michael Penix.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see big role Week 1
Hodge would be in line for a larger role against the Buccaneers on Sunday if Darnell Mooney is unable to play due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Mooney was limited in all three practices this past week due to a shoulder injury that he suffered early in training camp, and the 2020 fifth-rounder is officially a game-time decision for Sunday's NFC South contest, per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site. Hodge has served as a key special teamer for the Falcons for the past three seasons, but he saw regular work as the WR3 in training camp and would reprise that role for Week 1 if Mooney cannot play. Hodge logged seven catches on 12 targets for 131 yards and a touchdown across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
