KhaDarel Hodge: Released by Falcons
Hodge (shoulder) was released by the Falcons with a failed physical designation Monday, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Hodge was informed in February that he will be released, and Monday's move makes it official. The 31-year-old wide receiver hasn't finished any of his eight regular seasons with more than 232 receiving yards, but Hodge should garner interest in the free-agent market due to his ability on special teams, for which he made the Pro Bowl in 2024.

KhaDarel Hodge: Moving on from Atlanta
The Falcons informed Hodge (shoulder) on Wednesday that he will be released, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Hodge finished the 2025 season on injured reserve while recovering from a shoulder injury, but assuming that doesn't linger into the start of the upcoming campaign, the 31-year-old should be able to catch on elsewhere as a depth wideout/special teamer. Over his 12 appearances this past season, Hodge caught three of his 10 targets for 31 yards and recorded nine tackles on special teams.

Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Moved to IR
The Falcons moved Hodge (shoulder) to injured reserve Friday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Hodge was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals and was promptly moved to IR. This move will end the wide receiver's season, as the mandatory four-week reserve period will extend through Week 18. Hodge finishes the season with three receptions for 31 yards on 10 targets through 12 games. In a corresponding move, the Falcons signed safety Jammie Robinson to stabilize an injured defensive back room.

Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Ruled out for Sunday
Hodge (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Hodge played through the issue with his shoulder in the Falcons' Week 15 win over the Buccaneers, but the wide receiver's inability to practice this week implies he suffered a major setback. The depth receiver's absence will likely not shake up the Falcons' offensive target share too much, though Jamal Agnew may see more offensive snaps.

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

Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: 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.
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.

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

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

Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: 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.
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.

Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Not targeted in Week 12
Hodge failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.
Hodge was a nonfactor against the Saints, and 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.

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

Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: 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.
A groin injury prevented Hodge from playing against the Commanders in Week 4. With the Falcons on their 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.

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

Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: 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.
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.
