Pittsburgh Steelers waive TE Bucky Hodges, making the need for a TE greater

Since the Steelers lost Jesse James to the Detroit Lions via free agency, the Steelers were left with Xavier Grimble, Vance McDonald and Hodges among a couple others rounded out the team’s depth chart at the tight end position.
