Hodges, a sixth-round pick by the Vikings in April, was waived on Monday after Minnesota signed former 49ers tight end Blake Bell.
Hodges suffered a concussion in Week 4 of the preseason. The Vikings waived him with an injury designation, so if he clears waiversMinnesota can place him on injured reserve.

The Vikings signed three players to the practice squad: quarterback Kyle Sloter, cornerback Cornelius Edison and tackle Cedrick Lang.
Sloter starred in the preseason for the Broncos, but he was released when Denver signed Brock Osweiler on Sunday.
