Still nursing shoulder injury Hodge (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Hodge played through the issue with his shoulder in Week 15 at Tampa Bay, so it's possible he and the team are just playing things safe. He'll have two more chances to practice before Atlanta releases its final practice report of the week Friday.

Ready to rock Hodge (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Hodge began Week 15 preparations as a limited participant at practice but upgraded to full reps Wednesday. The depth wide receiver didn't handle any offensive snaps during Atlanta's loss to Seattle in Week 14, though he did play 23 snaps on special teams. Prior to that, Hodge was a healthy scratch Week 13.

Deemed limited again Tuesday Hodge (shoulder) was estimated as a limited practice participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.

Impact Hodge has been estimated as limited at each of the Falcons' two walkthroughs so far this week as he deals with a shoulder issue. The depth wideout didn't log any offensive snaps Sunday against Seattle but did play 23 snaps on special teams. If Hodge can't suit up Thursday in Tampa Bay, it would primarily effect that latter unit.

Considered limited Monday Hodge (shoulder) was considered a limited participant on Monday estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Impact Hodge is dealing with an apparent shoulder injury to open the week, and although the team didn't practice Monday, it was significant enough to include him on the injury report. The wide receiver will have two more opportunities to up his participation at practice before Thursday night's matchup with the Buccaneers.

Healthy scratch for Week 13 Hodge (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Though top wideout Drake London (knee) will miss a second straight game, Hodge won't be among Atlanta's five active receivers for Week 13. Hodge had suited up for each of the Falcons' last seven games but held a minimal role on offense, playing single-digit snaps in six of those contests while accruing a 3-31-0 receiving line on nine targets.

Not targeted in Week 12 Hodge failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.

Impact Hodge was a complete non-factor against the Saints, as the wideout has now been held without a catch in all but one game this season. The 31-year-old played just five of the Falcons' 56 offensive snaps Sunday, the fewest of any wide receiver who saw action on offense. Hodge remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 13 road matchup against the Jets.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records three catches Hodge caught three of eight targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Hodge's eight targets were the second most of any Falcons pass catcher Sunday. The veteran wideout played 66 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps, by far his largest snap share of the 2025 campaign. This uptick in playing time came on a day when No. 1 receiver Drake London was sidelined due to a hip injury. Despite the increased usage and season-high eight targets, Hodge and the entire Falcons offense struggled to get much going. The 31-year-old should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, even if London were to miss more time. The Falcons visit the Patriots in Week 9.

Will play against Buffalo Hodge (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bills, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact A groin injury prevented Hodge from playing against the Commanders in Week 4. With the Falcons on the bye for Week 5, Hodge had an additional week to rest and recover from his injury, and he has been cleared to make his return Monday after logging a full practice Saturday. Hodge has seen the field on both offense and special teams this year, but he has zero receptions on one target through three regular-season games.

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney will miss Falcons' game against Bills because of hamstring injury

OCTOBER 11, 2025 • Associated Press

Limited practice Thursday Hodge (groin) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Impact Hodge was unable to practice last week while dealing with a groin injury, so Thursday's session is a step in the right direction. With the team playing the Bills on Monday Night Football in Week 6, the wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice before the end of the week.

Out for Sunday Hodge (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Hodge was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a groin injury in the Falcons' Week 3 loss to the Panthers, so his absence Sunday comes as no surprise. The 31-year-old has played 59 total snaps (40 on special teams, 19 on offense) through three games this season, failing to catch his lone target. While Hodge is sidelined in Week 4, Jamal Agnew could see increased reps as a depth wide receiver.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to grab lone target Hodge finished with zero catches on one target during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Even with Darnell Mooney (shoulder) inactive, Hodge played only eight offensive snaps. Drake London (shoulder) suffered an injury on Atlanta's final drive but is considered day-to-day. If Mooney and London are sidelined for Week 2, Hodge could see a boost in offensive responsibilities, but he'd still be behind Ray-Ray McCloud and Casey Washington.

Yet to play in preseason Hodge didn't play in Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.

Impact 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.

Returns to Atlanta on two-year deal Hodge is re-signing with the Falcons on a two-year, $6 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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.

Good to go for Week 16 Hodge (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 16 Hodge (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Hodge only sees substantial offensive snaps 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.
