The Pittsburgh Steelers let the contracts of five members who ended the 2020 season on the team’s practice squad expire on Monday, according to the league’s transaction sheet.
The five players that had their practice squad contracts expire on Monday were quarterback Devlin Hodges, wide receiver Deon Cain, tight end Charles Jones, running back Wendell Smallwood and kicker Matthew Wright. Four of those five players saw playing time with the Steelers at some point in the last two seasons. Only Jones and Hodges failed to get activated to the Steelers active/inactive roster during the 2020 season.
Hodges, who signed originally with the Steelers in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, threw for 1,063 yards while completing 62.
