Disappointing end to season
Goodson did not handle a carry in Saturday's 23-19 loss versus the Texans, and he failed to bring in either of his two targets.
Analysis: The last meaningful play of a must-win game for Indianapolis was a dropped pass by Goodson that would have extended a potential game-winning drive with just over a minute to play. It's a difficult pill to swallow for Goodson, who had an otherwise promising season in 2023 relative to his rookie year in 2022. He has enough speed to get a second look during the offseason.

Just one carry in win
Goodson had one carry for three yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Goodson payed just three snaps on offense as the Colts had a large lead most of the game and didn't need a pass catcher to relieve Jonathan Taylor. Instead, Trey Sermon played 18 snaps and had five carries for 32 yards mostly late in the game when Taylor was briefly sidelined.

Records 30 total yards in loss
Goodson had one carry for 15 yards and one reception for 15 yards on two targets in Sunday's 29-10 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Both Goodson and Trey Sermon played 14 snaps on offense in reserve roled behind Jonathan Taylor (thumb), who made his return from a three-game absence. Goodson took on more opportunities than Sermon, who had two carries, but Goodson's role may have been enhanced by the fact that the Colts were trailing for much of the second half and went into a pass-happy game script. Zack Moss (forearm) missed Sunday's game and will slot back in as the top complement behind Taylor if he's able to play Week 17…read more

Signed off practice squad
The Colts signed Goodson off their practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Having used the maximum three standard elevations on Goodson ahead of the last three contests, Indianapolis needed to add him to the active roster in order for him to be available for game days moving forward. With the status of both Jonathan Taylor (thumb) and Zack Moss (shoulder) up in the air as the team prepares for Sunday's visit to Atlanta, Goodson could see a significant role in the backfield along with Trey Sermon. After Moss went down in the second quarter of this past Saturday's win…read more

Moves back to practice squad
Goodson reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Goodson has been elevated for each of Indianapolis' last three games, but he was able to mix into the offense more than expected Saturday against the Steelers after Zack Moss departed early due to a shoulder injury. With Jonathan Taylor (thumb) sitting out again, Goodson and Trey Sermon manned the backfield from the middle of the second quarter onward. Goodson played second fiddle to Sermon, seeing 19 snaps to the latter's 29, but both RBs got double-digit touches, with Goodson going for 79…read more

Gets 13 touches Saturday
Goodson totaled 11 carries for 69 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 10 yards during Saturday's 30-13 victory against the Steelers.
Analysis: Goodson joined the Colts' practice squad after Week 1, and he remained there until Week 12, when the team elevated him. He's proceeded to see action in three straight games via the same transaction due to Jonathan Taylor (thumb) being out the last two contests, and Goodson worked in tandem with Trey Sermon out of Indy's backfield Saturday after Zack Moss (arm) exited early in the second quarter. Taylor may be able to return next Sunday, Dec. 24 in Atlanta, but with the statuses of both him and…read more

Heads back to practice squad
The Colts reverted Goodson to the practice squad Monday.

Joins active roster
The Colts elevated Goodson to their active roster Saturday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Goodson has spent the majority of this season on the Colts' practice squad, and he's been elevated to the team's active roster for the second consecutive week. This move ensures depth at running back, with Jonathan Taylor (thumb) in line to miss his second consecutive game in Week 14. Goodson will likely serve as Indianapolis' No. 3 RB on Sunday behind Zack Moss and Trey Sermon.

Back to practice squad
Goodson reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Goodson was elevated ahead of Sunday's overtime win versus the Titans as Jonathan Taylor (thumb) was inactive. The 23-year-old played three offensive snaps and hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards. Goodson could have a chance to play again next week versus the Bengals if Taylor ends up being out once again.

Two receptions in backup role
Goodson had two receptions for 11 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
Analysis: Goodson played just three snaps on offense as the third running back behind starter Zack Moss with Jonathan Taylor out with a thumb injury. However, Trey Sermon played on just one snap and had a drop in the passing game, which could open more opportunities for Goodson while Taylor is sidelined.

Elevated to active roster
The Colts elevated Goodson to their active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Goodson is set to make his season debut on the Colts' active roster. With Jonathan Taylor (thumb) sidelined, he will provide depth in the backfield behind Zack Moss and Trey Sermon. The Iowa product also figures to be a candidate for special teams snaps.

Earns practice squad spot
Goodson signed with the Colts' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Goodson showed enough during his tryout Monday to secure a spot on Indianapolis' practice squad. The 22-year-old back out of Iowa spent the majority of last season on Green Bay's practice squad after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. The Colts cut ties with running back Jason Huntley to make room for Goodson.

Gets tryout with Colts
Indianapolis hosted Goodson (shoulder) for a tryout Monday, Howard Balzer of PHNX reports.
Analysis: Goodson is a free agent after receiving an injury settlement with the Packers, and he's healthy enough to work out and search for a new role. He's still looking for a chance to play his first NFL snap.

Waived by Green Bay
The Packers waived Goodson (shoulder) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Goodson reverted to IR after clearing waivers but now will be free to sign elsewhere once healthy. The 2022 undrafted free agent spent last season on Green Bay's practice squad and appeared in one game but did not play a single snap.

Goodson (shoulder) reverted to Green Bay's injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Goodson will spend the entire 2023 season on IR, unless he and the Packers can reach an injury settlement. The second-year pro, who is still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut, is dealing with a right shoulder injury.

Waived/injured Tuesday
Goodson (shoulder) was waived with an injury designation by the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: If Goodson does not get claimed off waivers he will revert to the Packers' injured reserve and face the possibility of missing the entire season. The seriousness of his shoulder injury is unknown, but if he has the potential to return, both he and the Packers could eventually reach an injury settlement. He was hoping to win the No. 3 running back role prior to the injury, but that was awarded to Emanuel Wilson.

Sports sling at practice Sunday
Goodson was spotted with his right arm in a sling during Sunday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Goodson left Friday's preseason opener with a shoulder injury, and it appears he'll miss some time. With Lew Nichols (shoulder) also sidelined, Patrick Taylor has a clear path at winning the No. 3 spot behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, though the Packers kept only two running backs on their Week 1 roster last year.

Injures shoulder
Goodson exited Friday's game against the Bengals due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: There is no word on whether Goodson is available to return, but expect the Packers to exercise caution. He had tallied two yards and one touchdown on three carries prior to sustaining the injury. With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon presumably done for the game, and Lew Nichols not active, that leaves three running backs available for Green Bay for the remainder of the preseason contest.

Sticking with Green Bay
Goodson signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Goodson joined the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa this past offseason. He competed for the team's No. 3 running spot during the preseason but he was eventually waived in late August before quickly rejoining via the practice squad. Goodson was bumped up to the active roster for the Week 17 win over Minnesota, though he never saw the field against the Vikings. The 22-year-old is now set to compete with Patrick Taylor for a depth role this offseason.

Returns to practice squad
Goodson reverted to Green Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Goodson was promoted to the active roster for the first time ahead of Sunday's win against the Vikings. However, the undrafted rookie never wound up seeing the field Week 17, as Patrick Taylor served as the Packers' No. 3 running back and Keisean Nixon handled return duties on special teams. Goodson will now look to make his NFL debut if he is once again elevated from the practice squad for the team's crucial Week 18 matchup against Detroit.

Up to active roster
Goodson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Aaron Jones (knee/ankle) was able to shed his injury status Friday, so it's entirely possible Goodson's elevation simply is a safety net for the status of return man Keisean Nixon (groin). Goodson, an undrafted rookie, could make his first NFL appearance Sunday against the Vikings.

Analysis: With Kylin Hill (knee) sidelined, Goodson and Patrick Taylor dueled during the preseason for the No. 3 spot behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Goodson did his best to earn the gig, totaling 29 rushes for 107 yards and one score across three exhibition contests. However, neither Goodson nor Taylor ultimately made the initial 53-man roster as the Packers opted to only keep two running backs, with the understanding that Amari Rodgers or Randall Cobb could handle emergency RB duties if Jones or…read more

Finds paydirt in finale
Goodson had seven carries for 28 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs. He also caught five passes for 26 yards and returned two kicks for 27 yards.
Analysis: Goodson was held in check on most of his 12 touches in the Packers' final exhibition contest, but he did score on an impressive 24-yard run early in the second quarter. With 167 yards from scrimmage over the last three weeks, the undrafted rookie has done just about all he could have to earn a roster spot. The Packers could still elect to keep Patrick Taylor as the third running back, but Goodson was the more impressive of the two during the preseason.

Continues push for roster spot
Goodson had 10 carries for 42 yards and one reception for 10 yards in Friday's exhibition contest against the Saints.
Analysis: After starting the preseason opener, Goodson worked behind Patrick Taylor on Friday, but the former wound up with more touches and yards from scrimmage and also showed a bit more burst. Unless fellow running back Kylin Hill (knee) returns to action in the next week or so, either Goodson or Taylor will open the season as the third option in the Packers' backfield, and it's a tight race with one audition to go.

Tallies 14 touches in debut
Goodson had 12 carries for 37 yards and two receptions for 24 yards in Friday's preseason opener against the 49ers. He also returned a kick for 19 yards.
Analysis: Goodson did not run for more than seven yards on any of his 12 attempts, but he ripped off 23 yards on a screen pass in the first quarter and finished the night with a team-high 14 touches. With fellow running back Kylin Hill (knee) still on the PUP list, the third running back spot on the Packers' depth chart is up for grabs, and Goodson has done enough to challenge Patrick Taylor for that spot.
