Tyler Goodson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

One carry in season finale Goodson rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans. He finished the season with nine rushes for 24 yards, adding two receptions for eight yards on three targe...

Impact Goodson was a non-factor this season, barely seeing the field on offense. The 25-year-old running back played well behind Jonathan Taylor and Ameer Abdullah in the Colts' backfield rotation throughout the 2025 campaign. With that said, Goodson will enter the offseason as a restricted free agent, giving Indianapolis the opportunity to match any offers he may receive from other teams in free agency. Based on his limited usage, it remains unclear if the Colts will try to keep him in their locker room or afford him the opportunity to catch on with another team ahead of next season.

Clear for Week 18 return Goodson (ankle) wasn't listed on the Colts' first Week 18 injury report Wednesday.

Impact Goodson sat out a Week 17 loss to the Jaguars due to an ankle injury, but the issue clearly is behind him, and he'll be available Sunday at Houston for his typical roles on special teams and whatever top two RBs Jonathan Taylor and Ameer Abdullah may cede on offense. In 10 games this season, Goodson has eight carries for 21 yards, two catches (on three targets) for eight yards, no touchdowns and two kick returns for 60 yards.

Sidelined with ankle injury Goodson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Despite closing Week 17 prep with a full practice, Goodson will get some extra time to recover from the ankle injury that kept him from practicing in any fashion Wednesday and Thursday. With Goodson sidelined, the Colts will keep rookie DJ Giddens active as their No. 3 running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Ameer Abdullah.

Questionable for Sunday Goodson (ankle) is James Boyd of The Athletic ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Goodson likely sustained his ankle injury against the 49ers during last Monday's loss, but the running back was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice. The upgrade from non-participation to full is a great sign that the 25-year-old has recovered enough to suit up for Sunday's game. If Goodson is unable to play, DJ Giddens will likely share a few offensive snaps with Ameer Abdullah behind lead back Jonathan Taylor.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing ankle injury Goodson (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact Goodson likely tweaked his ankle during the Colts' loss to the 49ers on Monday, when he turned three carries into nine yards and added 60 yards on two kickoff returns. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's AFC South tilt against Jacksonville.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Handles three carries in loss Goodson rushed three times for nine yards in Monday's 48-27 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Goodson's three carries Monday were his first rushing attempts since Week 10. In 10 appearances, the 25-year-old running back has recorded just eight rushes for 21 yards, adding two catches on three targets for eight yards. Barring an injury to Jonathan Taylor down the stretch, Goodson will remain far off the fantasy radar in a Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No offensive snaps in loss Goodson failed to record a single offensive snap in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Goodson was not involved on offense Sunday, as the third-year running back failed to record an offensive snap for the second time this season. The 25-year-old has not been a big part of the game plan all season, playing just 28 offensive snaps in nine appearances during the 2025 campaign. Goodson has recorded just five rushes for 12 yards and two catches for eight yards over the course of the season. The Iowa product remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 16 matchup against the 49ers.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays one offensive snap Goodson failed to record a single carry or target in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Goodson was a complete non-factor Sunday, as the running back played just one of the Colts' 70 offensive snaps behind Jonathan Taylor (52) and Ameer Abdullah (17). For fantasy purposes, the 25-year-old Goodson remains an interesting insurance policy if Taylor were to miss time due to injury, but the Iowa product should otherwise remain far off the fantasy radar when the Colts visit the Seahawks in Week 15.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Non-factor in loss Goodson failed to record a single carry or target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Goodson played just one of the Colts' 51 offensive snaps Sunday while starter Jonathan Taylor dominated the running back snap share with 46 snaps. The 25-year-old Goodson has barely been used on offense this season, playing just 27 snaps and recording five rushes and two receptions for 20 total yards across six appearances. The Iowa product remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Texans.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Handles one carry in Week 10 Goodson rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Falcons.

Impact Goodson played just two of the Colts' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both Jonathan Taylor (70) and Ameer Abdullah (5). With Taylor handling a 91 percent snap share and rushing for 244 yards and three touchdowns, the 25-year-old Goodson was not relied upon in the Colts' offensive plans. This has been the case for most of the 2025 campaign, as the third-year running back has recorded just five carries for 12 yards and two catches for eight years in the five games he's played so far. Barring an injury to Taylor, Goodson is far off the fantasy radar as Indianapolis heads into their Week 11 bye before a matchup against the Chiefs in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Has one reception in loss Goodson had one reception for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.

Impact Goodson played a season-high 10 snaps on offense with the Colts trailing most of the game. However, the Colts didn't turn to a pass-catching running back as they have in the past as Jonathan Taylor stayed in the game and played on 62 of the offense's 79 snaps. Ameer Abdullah played on five snaps and had one carry and one reception. As long as Taylor is healthy, it looks the other running backs will have very minor roles even if the Colts are forced throw the ball.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets two carries in return Goodson had two carries for two yards in Sunday's 38-14 win over Tennessee.

Impact Goodson returned after missing three games due to a groin injury. He's clearly ahead of DJ Giddens on the depth chart, who was a healthy inactive. However, Ameer Abdullah may be the No. 2 running back even with Goodson healthy as he played on ten snaps compared to four for Goodson. Both had two carries. However, none of the backups are getting enough work for viable fantasy value as Jonathan Taylor gets almost every touch even in blowouts as Sunday's win was essentially wrapped up before the fourth quarter.

Practices in full Goodson (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Goodson didn't suit up for Indianapolis' win over the Chargers in Week 7, his third consecutive absence, but he now appears back to full health. He'll be available to contribute in a reserve capacity behind workhorse running back Jonathan Taylor versus the Titans on Sunday.

Won't face Chargers Goodson (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Goodson practiced in limited fashion Friday, but that won't be enough for him to take the field in Week 7. This will mark his third consecutive absence and leave DJ Giddens as the backup to Jonathan Taylor.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable after limited practice Goodson (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Goodson managed to practice in limited fashion Friday after being sidelined Wednesday and Thursday. Even if he returns from a two-week absence Sunday, Goodson wouldn't be expected to contribute much as one of the backups to Jonathan Taylor, along with DJ Giddens and possibly practice squad running back Ameer Abdullah.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains non-participant Thursday Goodson (groin) remained a non-participant in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Goodson seems to be trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday against the Chargers. Ameer Abdullah handled the only two touches that didn't go to Jonathan Taylor among Colts running backs in their Week 6 win over the Cardinals, and rookie DJ Giddens remains on hand in a depth role.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Wednesday Goodson (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Goodson has missed the Colts' last two games due to a groin injury that he picked up in Week 4 against the Rams. He'll need to return to practice in at least a limited capacity in order to have a realistic chance of playing against the Chargers on Sunday. DJ Giddens and practice squad member Ameer Abdullah will continue to handle backup duties out of the backfield behind Jonathan Taylor for as long as Goodson is out of action.

Remains sidelined by groin injury Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Goodson will miss a second consecutive game due to the groin injury he sustained in Week 4 against the Rams. DJ Giddens will continue to work as the primary backup to workhorse running back Jonathan Taylor.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Wednesday's practice Goodson (groin) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Goodson sustained a groin injury in the Colts' Week 4 win loss to the Rams and hasn't returned to practice since. The Iowa product has played just 24 snaps (16 on special teams, eight on offense) across two appearances this season, rushing twice for six yards. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance at suiting up for the Week 6 matchup against the Cardinals.

Ruled out for Week 5 Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Goodson, who sustained his groin injury during Week 4 action, didn't practice this week and will now target a potential return Oct. 12 against the Cardinals. In his absence this weekend, DJ Giddens will back up Jonathan Taylor, with Ameer Abdullah and Ulysses Bentley representing possible practice squad elevations.
