Despite his best efforts, RB Tyler Goodson will not be on the roster this season, per Ian Rappaport of NFL Network:
The #Packers are waiving RB Tyler Goodson, source said. Green Bay wants him back on practice squad but the rookie had a promising preseason and could be claimed.

Hoping to secure an RB3 spot for the 2022 season, Goodson is a rookie from Iowa. He saw plenty of action in practice in recent weeks, but the front office was apparently not impressed with what he has to offer the team.
Meanwhile, Patrick Taylor will likely be sticking around instead. Taylor signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2020, not long after the NFL Draft. He was released in August 2021 and resigned onto the practice squad, but was then added to the main roster again in November 2021.

Tyler Goodson actually has a decent highlight himself, despite his short time with the team:

As mentioned by Rapoport, there is a chance Goodson will be resigned to the practice squad.
Tyler Goodson struggled to pick up the blitz. If you can’t protect your 38 yr old franchise QB that’s a huge red flag. I never saw a clear advantage over Patrick Taylor. I thought they might keep both with Hill on IR. Even if Goodson is claimed, street FA Dexter Williams would be available in an emergency.
Tim Boyle got cut by the Lions. How is that possible? PF4L tells us he’s a fine backup QB. Far superior than Jordan Love. In June, Kurt Benkert was cut by the Packers and remains unemployed. PF4L told us his stats were far superior than Jordan Love and therefore a much better NFL QB. He can’t find a job. There were many who said Danny Etling looked better than Jordan Love. Sure he did. He’s looking for work. PF4L will tell you there’s a grand conspiracy to remove competition for the back up QB by releasing all these high quality prospects in favor of Jordan Love. No, really, he believes that BS. And none of these guys can find work.
