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 now done for the season. Goode will be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Jaguars' Najee Goode: Absent from injury report
Goode (toe) is not listed on the Jaguars' final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans in London.
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.
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.

Goode (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Goode was forced to leave the game early in the first quarter, and it's unclear how he suffered the injury.

Jaguars' Najee Goode: Suffers foot injury
Goode (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
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.

Jaguars' Najee Goode: Bursts into sack column
Goode made six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Saints.
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.
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 spent the majority of Sunday on special teams, and lost snaps on the defense to rookie Zaire Franklin, who took five defensive snaps to Goode's one.

Goode is listed as the starting SAM linebacker on the Colts' first official depth chart of the preseason, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Indy's linebacking corps are in flux this preseason, so his spot on the depth chart this early doesn't mean he'll win the starting job.

Colts' Najee Goode: Signs with Indianapolis
Goode signed a contract with the Colts on Wednesday.
After missing exactly half of his first 64 career games due to injury, Goode didn't miss a single contest for the Eagles in each of the past two seasons. He's mostly a special-teams player but logged a career-high 200 snaps on defense in 2017, accruing 22 tackles along the way. Goode could possibly top that number this season with the Colts given the team's questionable depth at outside linebacker.
