Who Should I Start? Trey Sermon or Tyler Goodson

Monday, April 29, 2:31 PM

Since the Indianapolis Colts didn't address the departure of Zack Moss by taking a running back in this year's NFL draft, the team seems content with Trey Sermon, Evan Hull and Tyler Goodson fighting it out for the backup running back job behind starter Jonathan Taylor in training camp this summer. Of course, the Colts could also add a free agent at the position like Kareem Hunt, but as of right now, Sermon could be poised to be the team's No. 2. Seventeen of Sermon's 35 carries for the Colts last year came in Week 15. In total, the former third-rounder of the San Francisco 49ers in 2021 out of Ohio State had 160 rushing yards and no touchdowns while adding three catches for 13 yards. If Taylor misses time due to an injury again in 2024, the Colts will likely use a committee approach in the backfield.

The Indianapolis Colts signed running back Tyler Goodson from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday. The team also added defensive end Zach McCloud and wide receivers Jaydon Mickens and Juwann Winfree to their practice squad while letting offensive guard Lewis Kidd go from the practice squad. The Colts RB depth chart has thinned out entering a Week 16 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday with both Zack Moss (shoulder) and Jonathan Taylor (thumb) up in the air to play. Moss was injured in Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Taylor has missed the last three games following thumb surgery. If neither Moss nor Taylor can play this weekend, expect the Colts to use a combination of Goodson and Trey Sermon out of their backfield against the Falcons.
