Goodson signed with the Colts' practice squad Tuesday.
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.

Rotowire
Indianapolis hosted Goodson (shoulder) for a tryout Monday, Howard Balzer of PHNX reports.
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.

Tyler Goodson: Waived/injured Tuesday
Rotowire
Goodson (shoulder) was waived with an injury designation by the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
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.

Packers' Tyler Goodson: Sports sling at practice Sunday
Rotowire
Goodson was spotted with his right arm in a sling during Sunday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
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.

Packers' Tyler Goodson: Injures shoulder
Rotowire
Goodson exited Friday's game against the Bengals due to a shoulder injury.
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.

Packers' Tyler Goodson: Sticking with Green Bay
Rotowire
Goodson signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers on Tuesday.
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.

Tyler Goodson: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Goodson reverted to Green Bay's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
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.

Packers' Tyler Goodson: Up to active roster
Rotowire
Goodson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
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.

Tyler Goodson: Returns to Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers signed Goodson to their practice squad Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
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 Dillon went down with an injury. Regardless, Goodson and Taylor are both candidates to be elevated on a weekly basis now that they are members of the practice squad.

Tyler Goodson: Let go by Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers waived Goodson on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Goodson signed with the Packers in May as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa, where he rushed for 2,551 yards and 18 touchdowns across three seasons. 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. He also caught eight passes for 60 yards. However, the Iowa product still couldn't earn a spot on the Packers' initial 53-man roster. Nonetheless, per Rapoport, Green Bay wants him back on a practice squad deal, but it's unclear if he'll clear waivers after his promising preseason performances.

Packers' Tyler Goodson: Finds paydirt in finale
Rotowire
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.
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.

Packers' Tyler Goodson: Continues push for roster spot
Rotowire
Goodson had 10 carries for 42 yards and one reception for 10 yards in Friday's exhibition contest against the Saints.
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.

Packers' Tyler Goodson: Tallies 14 touches in debut
Rotowire
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.
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.
