Ready for Saturday Taylor (hamstring) is active for Saturday's game against the Panthers.
Impact Taylor was considered questionable due to the hamstring injury, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Saturday. The 24-year-old sat out Week 14 and has played only a handful of offensive snaps over the past month, and he's unlikely to be significantly involved versus Carolina with the rest of the receiving corps healthy.

Carries questionable Week 15 tag Taylor (hamstring) is questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against Carolina, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact Green Bay presents a relatively straightforward injury report heading into a Week 15 home game, with Taylor being the only member of the roster listed as questionable. Taylor's hamstring issue forced him to miss his first game of 2020 last Sunday against the Lions, and his status remains on the fence heading into a matchup against the sliding Panthers. Given Allen Lazard's Week 11 return to the lineup from an abdomen injury, Taylor's duties have been more heavily slanted towards special-teams work in recent appearances.

Upgraded Wednesday Taylor was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Impact After missing last week's game against Detroit and Tuesday's practice with the hamstring injury, Taylor made some progress. The Ferris State product has primarily seen action on speicial teams this season, but he's hauled in five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on offense. Even if he is healthy enough to play, Taylor was unlikely to have much of an offensive role, especially with Tavon Austin joining the fold last week.

Not suiting up Sunday Taylor (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Detroit.
Impact The 24-year-old received the questionable tag after sitting out Friday's practice and won't be available for Week 14. Even if he was active, Taylor was unlikely to have much of an offensive role Sunday, especially with Tavon Austin making his team debut.

Packers rule TE Sternberger out for Sunday's game with Lions

Questionable for Sunday's game Taylor (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Taylor's trending in the wrong direction going into the weekend, as he was absent from the injury report to start the week but ended up sidelined for Friday's practice. If he ends up sitting out this week, Tavon Austin could be in line for his Packers debut.

First catch since Week 8 Taylor caught one pass for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Eagles.
Impact Taylor was on the field for just five snaps Sunday, but that was enough for him to record his first reception since Week 8. He will have a chance to see a bit more action in Week 14 if fourth wideout Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) is sidelined, but the Packers could instead choose to get Tavon Austin involved, and Green Bay rarely has more than three receivers on the field at the same time anyway.

One touch in Week 9 Taylor wasn't targeted in the passing game and had a nine-yard run in Thursday's 34-17 win over the 49ers.
Impact Aaron Rodgers tossed four touchdown passes but didn't look Taylor's way all game. Taylor played 26 offensive snaps in the win.

Makes one reception Taylor had one reception for a career-long 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Impact While Taylor made some noise for the second week in a row, he was on the field for just 13 plays -- the fewest of any of the five Packers receivers that were active Sunday. His roster spot will be on the line whenever Allen Lazard (abdomen) is ready to be activated from injured reserve.

Makes most of limited chances Taylor was targeted twice and tallied two receptions for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-20 victory over the Texans.
Impact The two receptions were a career high for Taylor, and the touchdown was his first as a professional. Despite making some impact in the box score, it should be noted that Taylor was on the field for just 10 plays and finished a distant fourth in snaps among Packers receivers after ending up third in that department Week 6 and second in the team's previous game Week 4.

Held without catch Taylor was targeted once but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact Taylor played just over half the available snaps Week 6 and finished third among Packers wideouts in that category, but the return of Davante Adams cost him some time on the field, and he clearly was not much of factor in the offense. Taylor could continue to have a role until Allen Lazard (abdomen) returns, but he presumably will have to fend off Equanimeous St. Brown -- a slightly more-established wideout who made his season debut Sunday -- in order to do so.

Makes first career reception Taylor hauled in his lone target and finished with one reception for 20 yards in Monday's victory over the Falcons.
Impact With three of his fellow wideouts sidelined by injuries Taylor made his first career start and finished second among Packers receivers in snaps. He played only a bit role in the offense, but he did notch his first career reception on a fourth-down play that extended a Packers scoring drive near the end of the first half. While Taylor spent a lot of time on the field Monday, his snap count figures to take a hit next time the Packers take the field in Week 6, as Davante Adams (hamstring) will likely be ready to return to action.
