Falcons Sign Tyler Goodson as Backfield Depth After Adding Brian Robinson Jr.

Overview

• Atlanta announced Tyler Goodson’s signing Thursday, following earlier reports he was expected to join pending a physical.
• Brian Robinson Jr., agreed to earlier this week, is slated as Bijan Robinson’s primary backup after 2,729 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns since 2022.
• Goodson projects as a competition piece for the RB3 job and special-teams help, with 33 games for the Colts, 54 carries for 264 yards, 19 catches for 103 yards, and 11 kick returns.
• His exit from Indianapolis narrows the depth behind Jonathan Taylor, elevating second-year backs DJ Giddens and Ulysses Bentley on the Colts’ chart.
• The signings replace departed Tyler Allgeier and, according to reporting, come on low-cost deals that do not materially change Atlanta’s cap outlook heading into the draft.
