The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived guard Cooper Hodges due to a failed physical, according to the NFL transaction wire. Hodges, who suffered a season-ending patella injury in 2023, played only nine games last season, starting one. A four-year starter at Appalachian State and a four-time All-Sun Belt selection, he was drafted by the Jaguars in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, signing a four-year rookie contract valued at $3,292,492, which included a signing bonus of $105,492.
