Hodges announced his retirement from football Friday, Pat Damp of CBS Pittsburgh reports.
Hodges served mainly as a backup quarterback for the Steelers during his career, and he failed to carve out a role with the Rams in 2021. The 26-year-old made eight appearances for Pittsburgh in 2019 and completed 100 of 160 passes for 1,063 yards, five touchdowns and eight interceptions while rushing 21 times for 68 yards.
Hodges was waived by the Rams on Monday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Hodges was cut by the Rams as the team must trim their roster down to 80 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. The former Steelers quarterback now is subject to waivers, which allows him to be claimed by another team. Hodges likely will aim to compete for a backup role on a team that needs depth at the position.
