Steelers Sign Devlin Hodges To P-Squad

By Zachary Links | at September 7, 2020 6:16 pm

Devlin Hodges wasn’t gone for long. After waiving the quarterback over the weekend, the Steelers inked him to a practice squad deal on Monday, per a club announcement. With Duck under contract, and running back Wendell Smallwood on the way, the Steelers have their initial taxi squad in place. Here’s the full rundown:

WR Deon Cain
WR Amara Darboh
TE Kevin Rader
OT Anthony Coyle
RB Trey Edmunds
OT Jarron Jones
OG Derwin Gray
DE Henry Mondeaux
NT Daniel McCullers
OLB Jayrone Elliott
CB Trajan Bandy
S Antoine Brooks Jr.
RB Wendell Smallwood
S Curtis Riley
P Corliss Waitman

The Steelers were set to roll with Hodges as their QB3, up until they claimed Josh Dobbs off waivers from the Jaguars. Last year, Hodges went from an unheralded UDFA on the practice squad to a fill-in starter after Ben Roethlisberger went down. He wasn’t able to keep his momentum after a hot start, but coaches still like him as an emergency option.

Smallwood was one of the Eagles’ main running backs in 2018, but didn’t much action with Washington in 2019. In 15 games, he registered 22 carries for 81 yards, good for a 3.7 yards per tote average.

Steelers Trim Roster Down

By Andrew Ortenberg | at September 5, 2020 4:06 pm

The entire AFC North is now finished as the Steelers became the latest team to trim their roster to 53 players. Here are all the moves, we’ll recap the most notable ones at the bottom:

QB Paxton Lynch
DL Daniel McCullers
WR Ryan Switzer
DB Antoine Brooks Jr.
RB Kerrith Whyte Jr.
RB Trey Edmunds
RB Wendell Smallwood
WR Saeed Blacknall
WR DeAndre Thompkins
WR Deon Cain
WR Amara Darboh
OL Christian DiLauro
OL John Keenoy
OL Derwin Gray
OL Anthony Coyle
OL Jarron Jones
TE Kyle Markway
TE Kevin Rader
DL Cavon Walker
DL Henry Mondeaux
DL Calvin Taylor
LB Tuzar Skipper
LB Jayrone Elliott
DB Trajan Bandy
DB John Battle
P Corliss Waitman
LS Liam McCullough

Lynch is probably the most well known of these names. The former Broncos first-round bust signed with the Steelers last year as insurance after multiple quarterback injuries. He’s running out of chances. Switzer has mostly contributed as a returner with Pittsburgh and Dallas, although he did have 36 catches with the Steelers in 2018.

Smallwood was one of the Eagles’ main running backs in 2018, but didn’t get too many touches with Washington last year. He’ll likely pop up somewhere else soon. Brooks Jr. was the Steelers’ sixth-round pick in this past draft, so he’s likely ticketed for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

McCullers has been with the Steelers the past six years so his is a significant departure even though the nose tackle only played 12 percent of the defensive snaps last season.
