Report: Steelers to waive QB Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges

In a move corresponding to the waiver claim of quarterback Joshua Dobbs, the Pittsburgh Steelers have released Devlin Hodges according to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero. This likely means Dobbs will come in with a week to the start of the season as the team’s No. 3 quarterback.

Hodges was a great story last season. An undrafted rookie out of a small college getting his shot in the NFL. Hodges started six games for Pittsburgh in 2019 and went 3-3. But you don’t have to dig very deep to understand his wins were more about the elite Steelers defense than anything he did for the offense.

Moving on from Hodges and bringing Dobbs into the fold instantly makes the quarterback depth chart better. Having said that, I won’t be at all shocked if the Steelers bring Hodges back to the practice squad as opposed to re-signing Paxton Lynch,
