TAYWAN TAYLOR NEWS

Going to IR The Texans placed Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Taylor was competing for a depth role with the Texans before suffering an undisclosed injury. The journeyman will now be sidelined for the entire season unless both he and Houston can come to terms on an injury settlement once his health is up to par.

Cut by Houston The Texans are cutting Taylor on Wednesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Taylor spent training camp competing for a depth role in Houston, but his efforts to stick to the regular-season roster have been unsuccessful. Though he appeared in six games with the Browns from 2019-20, Taylor has not logged a reception since 2018 when he played for the Titans.

Activated by Texans The Texans activated Taylor off the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Taylor is competing for a depth receiver role with the Texans, so his return to training camp will be beneficial for his chances. He suited up for three games with the Browns in each of the last two seasons. Prior to that, he spent two years with the Titans.

Sidelined to begin camp Taylor was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Taylor signed with the Texans in May, his third NFL organization. With the team clearing out its depth chart -- Donte Moncrief was cut and Randall Cobb is reportedly being traded to Green Bay -- Taylor could stick as a depth piece among the team's wide receiver corps assuming he can return to practice with sufficient time left in camp. He has not recorded a reception in either of the last two seasons, but did log 37 catches for 466 yards in 2018 as a member of the Titans.

Placed on IR Taylor (neck) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact The specifics of Taylor's neck injury remain relatively unknown but it does not bode well for the wideout to return in 2020, as he'll have to spend a minimum three weeks on IR. He has only been active for three contests this season, receiving one target and no receptions.

Ruled out for Week 13 Taylor (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact With KhaDarel Hodge also ruled out out due to a hamstring injury, the Browns are down to only three healthy wide receivers on their active roster. As a result, the team will likely call up either Derrick Willies or Ja'Marcus Bradley from the practice squad. Taylor will hope to return in Week 14 against the Ravens.

Active for third time Taylor failed to catch his only target in nine snaps during Sunday's 27-25 win over Jacksonville.

Impact Taylor was active for just the third time this season, and the target was his first. After the top three receivers, there's little room for a depth wideout to make an impact for the run-oriented Browns.

Moves to active roster The Browns promoted Taylor to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Taylor's activation concedes with KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) being placed on IR. The former Titan appeared in three games with Cleveland in 2019, but he was only targeted once in that span. He stands to handle a similar depth role versus the Colts on Sunday.

Waived by Cleveland Taylor was waived by the Browns on Saturday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Browns acquired Taylor toward the beginning of the 2019 season, but the former Titan never really stuck in his new landing spot. The move, along with the waiving of Damion Ratley, locks in Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones as the two depth options behind stars Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry.
