Giants Sign Isaiah Hodgins Off Steelers Practice Squad Ahead of Packers Game

New York turns to a familiar target to bolster an injury-hit receiver room.

Overview

  • Hodgins joins the active 53-man roster after the Giants signed him off Pittsburgh's practice squad, a move the Steelers declined to block by promoting him.
  • The addition follows season-ending ACL surgery for Malik Nabers and a hamstring concern for Darius Slayton, with recent practice-squad loss Lil’Jordan Humphrey further thinning depth.
  • Hodgins has not appeared in a game this season after being released by the 49ers at final cuts and spending 10 weeks on the Steelers' practice squad.
  • The 27-year-old previously produced his best stretch with New York, including 33 catches for 351 yards and four touchdowns in 2022 and a 100-yard playoff performance in Minnesota.
  • His familiarity with Mike Kafka’s offense could allow quick deployment, potentially giving starter Jameis Winston an immediate option against Green Bay.
