Impact Taylor played nine snaps, all on special teams. He returned one punt for three yards while signaling for a fair catch on two others.

Back to practice squad Taylor reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday.
Back up on roster Taylor was elevated to the Bengals' active roster Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Impact Taylor has been active each of the past two weeks, but he's yet to see a single target. Expect the depth wideout to once again act as the team's primary kick returner.

Reverts to practice squad Taylor reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Bumped up from practice squad Taylor was elevated to the Bengals' active roster Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Impact Taylor's promotion comes after fellow wideout Mike Thomas was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday. The former 49er has appeared in one game for the Bengals this season in Week 15 against the Broncos. He never saw a snap on offense but did contribute on special teams. He'll likely do the same Sunday against the Ravens.

Back with practice squad Taylor reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Taylor logged nine snaps on special teams and returned one kickoff for 23 yards. He also returned three punts for a total of 22 yards Sunday against the Broncos. Week 15 marked the first action of the 2021 campaign for the Louisiana Tech product.

Joins Bengals' active roster The Bengals have elevated Taylor to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.
Impact Taylor has spent the season on Cincinnati's practice squad after failing to make it through final roster cuts. With several healthy pass catchers ahead of him on the depth chart, any impact on Sunday will presumably come on special teams - most likely on punt returns, a notable failing for the team last week.

Let go by Cincy Taylor was waived by the Bengals on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Taylor signed with the Bengals in the spring and caught four passes for 62 yards in the preseason, but he won't make the team's initial 53-man roster. However, Cincinnati hopes to bring him back on the practice squad if he goes through waivers unclaimed.

Back from COVID-19 list The 49ers activated Taylor (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, per the league's official transactions report.
Impact Taylor missed the final two games of the regular season while on the COVID list. On the year, he caught 10 of 21 targets for 86 yards in 12 appearances. The 26-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Placed on COVID-19 list Taylor was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Impact Taylor either tested positive for the virus himself or came in close contact with somebody that did. If it turns out to be the latter, then the receiver still has a chance of being cleared in time for Saturday's game against Arizona. Taylor has just 10 catches this season but plays a prominent role on special teams as the punt returner.

Nets 14 yards on return Taylor registered a 14-yard punt return while going without an offensive snap during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact Taylor made his return to the lineup Sunday after being deemed a healthy scratch for San Francisco's Week 13 and 14 matchups. The Louisiana Tech product was held without an offensive snap for just the second time this season, though he was capable of building upon a strong 12.4 yards-per-punt return average. The 26-year-old remains on the active roster as the 49ers prepare for a Week 16 road trip to Arizona.

Another healthy scratch Week 14 Taylor (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 tilt against Washington.
Impact The third-year slot man has now been a healthy scratch for two consecutive games, as the recent returns to health of Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk have pushed Taylor back down the depth chart. The 26-year-old's next opportunity to get back in uniform comes in a Week 15 road battle versus the Cowboys.

Healthy scratch for MNF Taylor (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup against the Bills.
Impact Week 13 marks Taylor's first healthy scratch of the 2020 campaign, with River Cracraft being inserted above him as the 49ers' No. 5 WR option. With varying availability of San Francisco's top receivers from week-to-week, the 26-year-old Taylor has been sporadically involved this season. He has posted six different appearances with 20-plus offensive snaps but five others yielding six or fewer snaps.
DECEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Returns two punts Taylor had two punt returns for 27 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.
Impact Taylor exclusively played special teams during the divisional matchup, which is the first time this season he hasn't seen the field on offense. Even River Cracraft saw a couple offensive snaps during the contest, as Taylor is clearly buried on the depth chart.

Active Sunday Taylor (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact The 26-year-old was considered questionable despite practicing with no limitations Thursday and Friday, so it's not a major surprise he's suiting up Sunday. Kendrick Bourne (undisclosed) and Brandon Aiyuk (undisclosed) are both back in action this week, so Taylor may not see significant offensive opportunities.

Full practice, deemed questionable Taylor (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Taylor practiced without limitations Thursday and Friday, so he should be good to go barring a setback. The 26-year-old wideout was left out of the equation in last week's loss to the Packers when Richie James stepped up, and he could be pushed further down the depth chart with Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne both returning to action.
NOVEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to rock Taylor (back) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Taylor saw his reps managed Wednesday while tending to the back injury, but as evidenced by this news, he appears on track for Sunday's game against the Saints. With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and River Cracraft (quadriceps) also dealing with injuries, Taylor could be in line for some extra work Sunday. Last week he saw a season-high 58 percent of offensive snaps, so he could see similar snap count in Week 10.

Bothered by back injury Taylor (back) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Taylor's back injury is the latest addition to the long list of injuries to San Francisco's wide receivers. He may have picked up this injury during last week's loss to the Packers, but he's trending in the wrong direction to start the week nonetheless. His practice capacity Thursday will be critical for his Week 10 status. Brandon Aiyuk and Richie James were the 49ers' only fully healthy receivers Wednesday, but Kendrick Bourne (COVID-19 list) should be available for this Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Fails to seize opportunity Taylor was held to one reception (four targets) for nine yards in Thursday's 34-17 loss to Green Bay.
Impact Kendrick Bourne and Brandon Aiyuk were held out of action due to potential exposure to COVID-19, so the 49ers were running thin at the wide receiver position. Taylor remained in the slot (58 percent of offensive snaps) and did not absorb any of the targets left behind by the two sidelined starters. Richie James (nine receptions for 184 yards and a touchdown) was the receiver to step it up, which could put Taylor's slot role in jeopardy going forward in the likely event both Aiyuk and Bourne are ready to go against the Saints following 10 off days.

Posts 32 yards in losing effort Taylor had three receptions (four targets) for 32 yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to Seattle.
Impact Taylor was promoted from special teams contributor to the 49ers' starting slot receiver following last week's injury to Deebo Samuel (hamstring). The 26-year-old was able to set new season highs in receptions and yardage while seeing the field for 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Samuel is expected to miss Thursday's contest against the Packers, allowing Taylor to remain involved in the offensive gameplan for at least another week. The potential season-ending loss of George Kittle (knee) could also lead to more opportunities on short to intermediate routes for the shifty wideout. For now, Taylor should only be considered an option in deep PPR formats.
