Overview
- NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the signing, noting a strong possibility Taylor could be elevated for the postseason matchup.
- Taylor was waived by Houston earlier this week after appearing in four games this season with three total tackles.
- He logged just 35 defensive snaps and 29 special-teams snaps for the Texans, indicating limited recent usage.
- The former second-round pick produced a career-high 9.5 sacks with Seattle in 2022 and has 24.5 sacks over five seasons.
- Analysts expect only a small on-field role if he is elevated, citing pass-rush upside but weaker run defense per Pro Football Focus.
