  • Logs 23 carries in 2020

    Taylor finished the 2020 season with 23 carries for 110 yards and a TD and one catch for four yards on two targets in six games.

    Analysis: Taylor, who the Patriots signed as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona, saw limited opportunities as a rookie, but the 5-foot-6, 185-pounder could see an increased change-of-pace role in 2021, depending on the team's offseason approach to the running back position. With that in mind, both James White and Rex Burkhead are eligible for free agency.

  • Records 38 rushing yards

    Taylor carried six times for 38 yards in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: With Damien Harris (ankle) inactive, Taylor logged 16 of a possible 50 snaps on offense Monday, while working behind Sony Michel and pass-catching back James White. Taylor's 28-yard run in the second quarter of the contest was one of the few bright spots for New England's offense Monday, but it remains to seen how much he'll be involved in the team's season finale, especially if Harris returns to the backfield mix in Week 17.

  • Suiting up for Week 16

    Taylor (quadriceps) is active heading into Monday night's game against Buffalo.

    Analysis: Taylor was considered questionable coming into the divisional tilt after being kept to limited participation throughout the preceding practice week. An appearance against the Bills would represent a second in as many weeks for the 22-year-old, and a fifth total game appearance this season. Taylor, an Arizona product, saw his highest level of offensive involvement Week 3 against the Raiders when he registered 43 yards on 11 carries. He may not garner so many opportunities against Buffalo, with…read more

  • Carries questionable tag

    Taylor (quadricep) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Bills, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor battled through this injury last week. With a week of limited practices behind him, Taylor is on the right track for Monday night's matchup against the Bills. The 22-year-old running back played just five snaps on offense last week; he'll likely remain in a reserve role this week, especially if Damien Harris (ankle) is active.

  • Logs limited practice Thursday

    Taylor (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor was among 20 Patriots listed as limited Thursday, and it remains to be seen how serious his quad injury is. The rookie has played a limited role on offense this season, but he could see some extra snaps -- if he's able to suit up -- over the final two contests now that New England has been eliminated from playoff contention.

  • Logs five snaps in Week 15

    Taylor carried once for two yards in Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: With Damien Harris (ankle) inactive for the contest, Taylor had a chance to see his first game action since Week 3, en route to logging five snaps on offense. Though he's firmly behind Harris, Sony Michel and James White on the Patriots' RB depth chart, it's possible that Taylor could see some extra touches over the team's last two games, with New England having been eliminated from the playoffs as a result of Sunday's loss.

  • Active for Week 15

    Taylor (quadriceps) will play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Taylor will make his first appearance since Week 3, as he's dealt with injury and illness this season. With Damien Harris (ankle) ruled out of the game, Taylor is expected to handle a clear No. 3 role at running back for the game behind Sony Michel and James White.

  • Pegged as questionable

    Taylor (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Taylor hasn't played since Week 3. He was a limited participant in practice all week, but that's been a consistent theme lately with no effect on his game status. If he's able to suit up, he'll simply add depth in the backfield behind Damien Harris (ankle) and James White (foot), both of whom are also questionable.

  • Limited showing Wednesday

    Taylor was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor hasn't suited up in game action since Week 3, as he continues to manage the quadriceps injury. Taylor is still behind Damien Harris, James White (foot) and Sony Michel on the running back depth chart, so even if he were to return, he likely wouldn't affect much from a fantasy perspective.

  • No-go Thursday

    Taylor (quadriceps) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Taylor game into the game drawing the questionable tag after managing his practice reps throughout the week, but he'll miss another game. Damien Harris, James White and Sony Michel are the active running backs for New England this week.

  • Questionable for TNF

    Taylor (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Taylor has yet to see action in a game since Week 3 against the Raiders, dealing with illness and injuries over that span. Taylor was a limited participant at practice all week and appears to be trending toward a true game-time decision. Even if he is healthy enough to suit up Sunday, it's likely he won't impact the game from a fantasy perspective.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Taylor (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: The 22-year-old received the questionable tag after working as a limited practice participant all week, and he won't be available Sunday. Damien Harris, James White and Sony Michel are the active running backs for New England this week.

  • Officially questionable

    The Patriots have listed Taylor (quadriceps) as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Taylor was a limited participant at practice all week and appears to be trending toward a true game-time decision. Even if he does get the green light, the 22-year-old has not seen any action on the field since Week 3 mainly due to coaching decisions.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Taylor (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The 22-year-old was considered questionable with the quad injury and won't be available for Sunday's contest. Taylor hasn't seen game action since Week 3, though he's mostly been inactive as a coaching decision.

  • Questionable ahead of Week 12

    Taylor (quadriceps) is questionable for the team's Week 12 matchup against the Cardinals, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor's status has fluctuated throughout the week, as he was cleared of an undisclosed injury that held him out of the Week 11 matchup with Texans. However, he reappeared on the injury report Thursday and did not practice. He upgraded to limited participation on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday.

  • Added to injury report

    Taylor (quadriceps) did not participate during the Patriots' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: Taylor was held out of action Week 11 against the Texans because of an undisclosed issue, and he's gone without a game appearance since Week 3. An illness had plagued Taylor in recent weeks, but now he's dealing with an injury of another variety as a Sunday matchup against the Cardinals approaches. With Rex Burkhead potentially having suffered a torn ACL during last Sunday's loss to the Texans, Taylor could be in line for increased opportunities down the stretch if he's able to get healthy.

  • Clear of injury report

    Taylor (undisclosed) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor was unavailable for Week 11 due to an unspecified injury, but he was back on the practice field Wednesday. The 22-year-old hasn't seen game action since Week 3, and that's unlikely to change this weekend with Sony Michel back from injured reserve.

  • Out Week 11

    The Patriots have ruled Taylor (undisclosed) out ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Texans.

    Analysis: Taylor has not seen any action since Week 3 and is now dealing with an undisclosed injury. However, with Sony Michel (quadriceps) activated off IR and Damien Harris (chest/ankle), James White and Rex Burkhead all expected to be available, Taylor would have had a hard time getting on the field regardless.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Taylor (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Taylor hasn't logged any action since Week 3, despite injuries and other absences plaguing the Patriots backfield. With Sony Michel (quadriceps) not playing Sunday but poised to return from IR soon, Taylor may be a regular healthy scratch moving forward with Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead all available.

  • Off Week 10 injury report

    Taylor (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Baltimore.

    Analysis: Taylor started the week with a pair of limited practices but upgraded to a full session Friday, clearing him to suit up for the Sunday Night Football clash with the Ravens. How much usage he'll see in a backfield that also features Damien Harris (ankle/chest), James White and Rex Burkhead remains to be seen.

  • Back to work

    Taylor (illness) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Chris Mason of Mass Live reports.

    Analysis: Taylor was forced to miss Monday's win over the Jets with the ailment, but he could return in Week 10. His return shouldn't matter much from an offensive perspective, as he remains behind Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead in the team's backfield pecking order.

  • Out Monday

    Taylor (illness) will not play Monday against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor was held out all week with an illness, but the running back had been a healthy scratch even when he's healthy. With 19 players either out or listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jets, depth might be a major question mark for the Patriots.

  • Sits out practice again

    Taylor (illness) is not practicing Friday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor, who has been a healthy scratch for New England since Week 3, has now missed back-to-back practices due to illness. Even if he's able to retake the practice field prior to Monday's game against the Jets, it seems probable that Taylor will once again be left out of the main offensive gameplan.

  • Misses Thursday's practice

    Taylor (illness) was a non-participant during the Patriots' practice session Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: In what constituted New England's longest injury report of the season Thursday, Taylor was among the 17 players who had limited or no availability at practice. The rookie out of Arizona State has not logged a game appearance for the Patriots since Week 3, though this update marks his first reported injury or illness-related absence of 2020.

  • Inactive for Week 6

    Taylor is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: With fellow running back Sony Michel (quad/illness) unavailable, the Patriots' Week 6 backfield duties will be handled by Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead.

  • Logs 11 carries in Week 3

    Taylor was on the field for 15 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Raiders, logging a team-high 11 carries for 43 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor, who didn't catch his only passing target in the contest, isn't going to lead the team in carries too often, but a run-heavy game plan, coupled with the absence of James White (personal), afforded Taylor an opportunity to see added touches Week 3. Meanwhile, Sony Michel rushed for 117 yards on nine carries, and Rex Burkhead turned his six carries into 49 yards and a pair of rushing scores. With Damien Harris (finger) possibly back this week, Taylor's role this coming Sunday against the…read more

  • Logs one carry in Week 2

    Taylor saw just one snap on offense in Sunday's 35-30 loss to the Seahawks, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: That came in the third quarter of the contest, when Taylor lost a yard on his sole carry of the evening. The rookie also returned three kickoffs for 69 yards. Taylor remains behind Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead in the Patriots' running back pecking order and is off the fantasy radar for now.

  • Logs four carries in opener

    Taylor was on the field for nine of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-11 win over the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In the process, Taylor carried four times for 28 yards and caught his only target for four yards. Though it's encouraging to see Taylor get a handful of touches in his NFL debut, he's still behind Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead in the Patriots' running back pecking order.

  • Promoted to active roster

    Taylor has been added to the Patriots' active roster.

    Analysis: Taylor gets a promotion from the team's practice squad, with fellow running back Damien Harris (finger) on IR and set to miss at least three games. The 5-foot-6, 185-pounder probably won't see a big role for the team initially, but Taylor has drawn comparisons to Dion Lewis, so he could end up working his way into a change-of-pace role for the Patriots in time.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Taylor cleared waivers Sunday and landed on the Patriots' practice squad, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: The 5-foot-5, 185-pound running back was seeking a change-of-pace role, but the Patriots are set at the position with Sony Michel, Damien Harris (finger), James White and Rex Burkhead returning to the lineup.

  • Waived by New England

    The Patriots have waived Taylor.

    Analysis: Taylor looked good in training camp, drawing Dion Lewis comparisons. He's a candidate to land on New England's practice squad if he isn't claimed on waivers.

  • Draws comparison to Dion Lewis

    Patriots' running backs coach Ivan Fears has noted that that Taylor reminds him of Dion Lewis, Phil Perry of NBC Boston reports.

    Analysis: The most obvious reason for the comparison is that Taylor is 5-foot-6, 185 pounds, while Lewis -- who enjoyed some success with the Patriots a few seasons back -- checks in at 5-foot-8, 195 pounds. Like Lewis, Taylor is quick and has some pass-catching skills, so it's possible that the UDFA out of the University of Arizona could earn a spot on the team's regular-season roster or practice squad. It would take several breaks in his favor, however, for Taylor to make a fantasy impact as a rookie.
