49ers Sign WR KhaDarel Hodge

San Francisco had an open spot after DT Naquan Jones was signed to Houston’s active roster.

Hodge, 31, wound up going undrafted out of Prairie View A&M back in 2018. He later signed on with the Rams and returned to Los Angeles on an exclusive rights contract for the 2019 season.

Hodge was waived coming out of the preseason and later claimed by the Browns. Cleveland re-signed him to a contract as a restricted free agent. 

However, the Browns waived Hodge and he was later claimed by the Lions. He finished out the season in Detroit before signing a one-year deal with the Falcons for the 2022 season. Atlanta re-signed him to two consecutive one-year extensions before inking him to a two-year, $6 million extension last March. 

The Falcons released Hodge before the new league year in 2026 and he started the year on the 49ers’ practice squad after signing during camp but was let go in early October.

In 2026, Hodge has appeared in three games for the 49ers and caught one pass for 18 yards.
