Hodge made the Browns' 53-man roster, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

Hodge is one of six wide receivers kept by the Browns, who also retained Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and JoJo Natson behind starters Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham. Higgins is considered the third wideout while Natson and Peoples-Jones could factor as returners. That leaves Hodge, who is regarded as one of best gunners in the league.
