San Francisco signed Hodgins to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Hodgins was a sixth-round draft selection by the Bills in 2020. He had a mild breakthrough after joining the Giants midway through the 2022 campaign, recording 33 catches for 351 yards and four touchdowns over eight games. However, Hodgins had since fallen out of favor in New York and spent much of 2024 on the team's practice squad. The 49ers have signed two other veteran wideouts -- Trent Taylor and Russell Gage -- to reserve/future deals following the conclusion of the regular season, and the trio will be given the opportunity to compete for roster spots during training camp next summer.

San Francisco signed Hodgins to a reserve/future contract Tuesday. Hodgins was a sixth-round draft selection by the Bills in 2020. He had a mild breakthrough after joining the Giants midway through the 2022 campaign, recording 33 catches for 351 yards and four touchdowns over eight games. However, Hodgins had since fallen out of favor in New York and spent much of 2024 on the team's practice squad.

Hodgins reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday. Hodgins handled a 32 percent snap share but caught just one pass for seven yards during Sunday's loss to the Panthers. The Giants are on a Week 11 bye, so Hodgins' next chance to enter the lineup will be Week 12 versus the Buccaneers.
The Giants elevated Hodgins from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus Carolina in Germany, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Hodgins had previously been elevated in Weeks 5 and 6, and he recorded one catch for five yards while logging 38 offensive snaps in those two games. The fifth-year pro's elevation for Week 10 comes as a result of Darius Slayton being ruled out for the contest against Carolina while in the NFL's concussion protocol. Hodgins isn't likely to see heavy volume Sunday, but he should get some opportunities to contribute as he did in the previous two games for which he has suited up this season.
Hodgins reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday. Hodgins caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Bengals while playing 19 percent of the offensive snaps, ranking as a distant fourth behind Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt.
Hodgins was elevated to the Giants' active roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Hodgins has spent most of the season on the Giants' practice squad, but he'll be elevated to the active roster for the second consecutive week with Malik Nabers (concussion) sidelined. He played 24 offensive snaps in Week 5 but did not earn a target.
Hodgins reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday. Hodgins got the callup with Malik Nabers (concussion) out of action. The Oregon State product saw 25 snaps on offense but never saw a target. If Nabers were to remain out in Week 6 against the Bengals, Hodgins would likely see another opportunity with the active roster.
The Giants elevated Hodgins from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Hodgins wasn't able to make the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp despite starting for the G-Men during the 2023 regular season. He opted to stick around on the practice squad, and he'll be elevated for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks after Malik Nabers (concussion) was ruled out. Hodgins recorded 21 catches (on 33 targets) for 230 yards and three touchdowns across 17 regular-season games for the Giants in 2023.
The Giants signed Hodgins to the practice squad Wednesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Hodgins opened 2023 as a starter for the Giants, but he saw inconsistent playing time over the course of the season and finished with 21 catches (on 33 targets) for 230 yards and three touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. The 2020 sixth-round pick didn't manage to show much production during the preseason, during which he caught three passes (on eight targets) for 17 yards. Hodgins will stick around on the taxi squad in the hopes of making it back to the active roster during the regular season.
The Giants waived Hodgins on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. The 2020 sixth-round pick has never reached even 400 receiving yards in a season, but he did enjoy a brief run of semi-relevance for fantasy football in the second half of the 2022 campaign when he scored four TDs in a five-game stretch (Weeks 13-17) while averaging 5.0 catches for 50.0 yards on 6.6 targets. Hodgins then opened 2023 as a starter, but he was quickly demoted to a part-time role after managing just 64 yards over the first three games. He had just two games with more than 24 yards last season, and none with more than 40.
