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