Goode (knee) was released from the Colts' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Goode was sidelined down the stretch with the knee injury last year with Jacksonville, and he joined Indianapolis' practice squad in early October. The 30-year-old previously spent time with the Colts in 2018 but is now in search of a new team.

Goode (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goode garnered a few starts this season and totaled 27 tackles and a sack over 10 games. The 29-year-old appears to have suffered a knee injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Titans, and he's done for the season. Goode will be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Goode (toe) is not listed on the Jaguars' final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans in London.
EDGE Analysis
A toe injury kept Goode sidelined from last week's victory over the Jets, but he has now officially been cleared for Week 9. With Quincy Williams (hamstring) and Leon Jacobs (hamstring) both ruled out, the Jaguars will be thin at linebacker. Thus, Goode could see a relatively healthy workload assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Goode (toe) is expected to suit up against the Texans on Sunday, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goode missed last week's win over the Jets due to a toe issue, but he appears on track to retake the field for Sunday's tilt against the Texans in London. The starting linebacker's presence will be a particularly noteworthy boon for Jacksonville's defense with Quincy Williams (hamstring) and Leon Jacobs (hamstring) both expected to miss Week 9.

Goode (foot) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Goode suffered the foot injury last Sunday against the Bengals and will be sidelined for at least one game. Quincy Williams (hamstring) and Leon Jacobs (hamstring) are also sidelined, leaving the Jaguars with little established depth at linebacker.

Goode (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Goode was forced to leave the game early in the first quarter, and it's unclear how he suffered the injury. Now that he's been officially ruled out, expect the team to update his status following the game or in the coming days. In his stead, Quincy Williams and D.J. Alexander are still the main beneficiaries to continue to see a bump in snaps.

Goode (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear how Goode suffered the injury, but Goode exited the contest in the first half of the first quarter. The 29-year-old is coming off his first sack of the season last game, so his absence will be felt on defense. As long as he's sidelined, look for Quincy Williams and D.J. Alexander to see a bump in snaps.

Goode made six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Surpassing rookie Quincy Williams for the start Sunday, Goode made his presence felt by getting his first sack of the campaign. With his season-high output of tackles and 63 defensive snaps in the game, the 29-year-old could warrant another start for Week 7 against the stagnant Cincinnati offense.

Goode will draw the start at weakside linebacker during Sunday's game against the Saints, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goode will surpass rookie third-round pick Quincy Williams on Jacksonville's depth chart, at least for Week 6. The veteran usually does most of his damage on special teams, and he'll now work to make the most of his opportunity on defense versus New Orleans.

Goode signed a contract with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Goode logged over 290 special-teams snaps for the fourth consecutive season in 2018 and was likely brought in to beef up the Jaguars' coverage units.
