Steelers' Bucky Hodges: Secures deal with Steelers

Hodges signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Hodges couldn't make the Steelers 53-man roster to begin the season and landed on their practice squad. The 2017 sixth-round pick had 48 catches for 691 yards and seven touchdowns in his final season at Virginia Tech but has yet to play in an NFL game. Hodges may see a spot open if Xavier Grimble moves on from Pittsburgh after the season, but Hodges won't have many opportunities with Vance McDonald and Jesse James under contract in 2019.
