Taylor (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Washington, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was added to the injury report Thursday with the ankle injury and was considered questionable, but he'll suit up for Sunday's contest. The 30-year-old has mostly played special teams over the past two games and should fill a similar role versus Washington.

Taylor (groin) was activated off the Panthers' injured reserve Saturday, Will Bryan of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was placed on IR on Nov. 11 after suffering a groin injury. Prior to that, he recorded 11 tackles on defense and one on special teams. He is once again expected to help provide depth at linebacker.

Taylor (undisclosed) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Florida Atlantic product was placed on injured reserve Nov. 11, but it appears his return may be on the horizon. Carolina now has 21 days to either move Taylor back onto the active roster or designate him for season-ending IR. In nine 2020 appearances pre-injury, Taylor compiled 14 tackles and one tackle for loss in a role that consisted primarily of special-teams work.

The Panthers placed Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear as to the reason for his placement on IR, as Taylor has accumulated 14 tackles (nine solo) in nine games while limited to mostly a special teams role. Taylor will need to reside on IR for at least three weeks, which leaves Jermaine Carter and Julian Stanford as the team's only healthy depth linebackers on the roster currently.

Taylor is slated to start at outside linebacker Sunday against the Chiefs following news that Jeremy Chinn (knee) has been ruled out, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Taylor is the formal starter, coach Matt Rhule relayed Sunday that it will take a group effort to replace Chinn's contributions. Chinn consistently lines up at strong-side linebacker and strong safety, and he's in the mix for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Taylor likely will play a majority of the defensive snaps still, but Julian Stanford and Jermaine Carter could rotate in, too.

Taylor signed a contract with the Panthers on Monday, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor previously signed with Carolina as an undrafted free agent back in 2014, making this his second stint with the team. The 29-year-old will provide the Panthers with linebacker depth and he could contribute on special teams.

The Browns released Taylor on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Browns will save nearly $2.5 million against the salary cap in 2020, and Taylor will be immediately available to sign with a new team. The 29-year-old linebacker played just 54 defensive snaps in 2019, but he did contribute on special teams. He'll likely seek a similar role with another franchise.

Taylor appeared in 15 games and played just 54 snaps on defense in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was thought to be a significant addition after signing a two-year deal during the offseason. He had come off a nice season with Tampa Bay, for whom he made 10 starts in 2018, but the Browns often went with a 4-2-5 look, limiting the need for a third linebacker. When Christian Kirksey (pectoral) went down in Week 2, they used rookie Mack Wilson as a starter along with Joe Schobert. Taylor's currently the second-highest paid linebacker on the roster. A new coaching regime could result in a bigger role for Taylor, but there's a better chance the Browns cut him, which would save them $2.4 million in cap space in 2020.

Taylor (ankle) is ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor logged a full practice Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Look for him to take on his usual workload at strongside linebacker assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Taylor (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor was questionable for Sunday's loss to the Rams but was active and exclusively played special teams. The 29-year-old has played only three defensive snaps in his two games this season, so his availability is unlikely to impact Cleveland's starting defense.
