WATCH: Tyler Goodson scores Colts’ first touchdown vs. Cardinals

Watch as Colts’ running back Tyler Goodson scores the first touchdown for the team in their preseason game against Arizona.

The Indianapolis Colts were able to put up points first against the Arizona Cardinals on a touchdown run by Tyler Goodson in the first quarter.

On first-and-goal from the Arizona eight-yard line, Sam Ehlinger handed the ball off to Goodson. Initially, between the tackles, there was nowhere for Goodson to go, but credit to Goodson’s vision and burst, he was able to jump-cut outside and won the race to the end zone.

Of course, Jonathan Taylor will be the Colts’ starting running back and will handle the workload, but Trey Sermon seems to have the backup role secured–although he has been sidelined this week with a hamstring injury.

The third running back role is up for grabs, however, between Goodson and second-year back Evan Hull.

As was the case during the preseason opener against Denver, it was Goodson who got the first touches over Hull, but during joint practices, it was Hull who saw the bulk of the backup reps.

In the early going of this game, Hull has seen some touches as well. The two appear to be alternating series.

Both backs are very capable as pass catchers out of the backfield, so consistency as a ball carrier and the ability to hold up in pass protection may be deciding factors in who ends up as the third back on the roster.
