Tyler Goodson: Everything you need to know

Goodson signed a contract with the Falcons on Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports. Goodson will likely compete for a depth role in training camp behind Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson. Atlanta also has Nathan Carter and Carlos Washington under contract at running back. Goodson recorded 54 carries for 264 yards and one touchdown across 33 regular-season appearances for the Colts over the past three seasons while adding 19 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 27 targets.

The Colts did not tender Goodson as a restricted free agent Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Goodson is now a free agent after rushing just nine times for 24 scoreless yards across 11 regular-season appearances during the 2025 campaign. The 25-year-old has a career 54-264-1 rushing line and 19 catches for 103 yards and one touchdown on 27 pass-game targets.

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 targets in 11 appearances. 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.
