It might work out that neither Goodson nor Taylor would get claimed - the Packers would assuredly keep the odd man out for the practice squad - but the flashy rookie probably has a better chance to get picked up than a third-year back who has battled injuries. Those are the traits Gutekunst recently singled out as paramount qualifications for the third running back. The coaches and front office might remember that gaffe more than the touchdown, especially because Patrick Taylor is probably a better pass protector and special teams contributor. But it’s about pass protection and special teams, too, and Goodson dropped a kickoff 3 yards deep in his own end zone before returning it only 8 yards, making quarterback Jordan Love and company start at their own 5-yard line against the Chiefs. If the Packers wanted to take the best option as a runner and pass catcher for their third running back, Goodson would probably get the job. Goodson also caught five passes for 26 yards, finishing the preseason with eight catches for 60 yards to go along with his 29 carries for 107 yards (3.7 yards per carry). All I had to do was make one guy miss and I was into the end zone.” “He made an outstanding block, and I cut off him. “Once I got through the lane, Josh Myers got to the second level,” Goodson said. Goodson then finished the play with a nifty spin move before he found paydirt. Goodson ripped off a 24-yard touchdown run against the Chiefs, the beginning of which benefited from the blocking of left guard Jon Runyan Jr. That’s three consecutive preseason games in which the undrafted rookie out of Iowa has stated a convincing case to be the third running back on the initial 53-man roster, behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. ![]() Packers coaches and executives might not sweat cutting any player they’re confident will clear waivers if they want them back, but here are four who have done enough this preseason - specifically in Thursday’s 17-10 exhibition finale loss to the Chiefs in Kansas City - to make the team worry if they hit waivers. ![]() The Packers are likely to go through that thought exercise with several players in the coming days.
