Top Darrell Taylor News

  • Darrell Taylor: Cut to make room for Reed

    Taylor was waived by the Texans on Monday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Taylor is being cut less than a week after being activated from injured reserve. This move paves the way for the Texans to activate safety Jaylen Reed (forearm) from injured reserve ahead of Monday's wild-card game at Pittsburgh.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Activated from IR

    The Texans activated Taylor (ankle) to the 53-man roster from injured reserve Tuesday.

    Taylor resumed practicing in full mid-December, so it appears he'll be ready to contribute during Monday's wild-card round matchup against the Steelers. Expect the defensive end to handle a depth role on defense and also take snaps on special teams.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Remaining sidelined

    Taylor (ankle) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Taylor has been on injured reserve since Week 10 but has practiced for the last couple of weeks. He should have the chance to be activated ahead of Houston's wild-card round matchup.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Ruled out for Week 17

    The Texans announced Friday that Taylor (ankle), who remains on IR, has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chargers.

    Taylor had his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 17, but he isn't yet ready to return to Houston's 53-man roster. His next chance to play will come Week 18 versus the Colts.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Ruled out for Sunday

    Taylor (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Taylor was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and was able to log consecutive full practices to close out the week. Despite the performances, the defensive end will not be activated to play against the Raiders. With the Texans currently in the AFC playoff picture as the No. 7 seed, the team may be taking injuries slowly as it heads towards the postseason.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Officially designated to return

    Taylor (ankle) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

    The Tennessee product's return to practice Wednesday comes as no surprise, as Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported that he was expected to be medically cleared in the next week or so. Taylor has appeared in four games for the Texans this season, recording three total tackles. He must still be added to Houston's active roster in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Returning soon

    Taylor (ankle) is expected to be medically cleared to return to practice in the next week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The 28-year-old has missed Houston's last six games on the injured reserve list due to an ankle issue, but it appears a return is in the near future. Once fully healthy, Taylor is expected to play a reserve role on the Texans' defensive line.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Shifts to IR

    Taylor (ankle) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday.

    The 28-year-old sustained an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, and his placement on IR on Wednesday suggests the issue is serious. Taylor will now be forced to miss the team's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Downgraded to out

    Taylor (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
