The Jets acquired Taylor from the Chargers on Tuesday in exchange for a 2028 conditional seventh-round draft pick.

EDGE Analysis

After dealing away No. 1 cornerback Sauce Gardner (concussion) to the Colts earlier Tuesday in exchange for wideout Adonai Mitchell and a pair of early draft picks, the Jets moved to bring aboard Taylor in a separate trade to replenish their secondary. Taylor had suited up in each of the Chargers' first nine games of 2025 but had played almost exclusively on special teams, tallying eight tackles. He could get the opportunity to earn more snaps on defense with his move to New York, though Taylor's initial usage will most likely be limited to sub packages.

Taylor (ribs) logged 29 defensive snaps and recorded three tackles (two solo) in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game versus Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor's 2024 season was cut short due to a ribs injury suffered in Week 18, but he's healthy now and competing for a starting job in the Chargers' revamped secondary.

The Chargers placed Taylor (ribs) on injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor is dealing with an injury to his ribs, and he won't be eligible to return to action this season regardless of how deep the Chargers go in the playoffs. The third-year cornerback began the campaign as a starter but saw his role fluctuate throughout the season, and he played exclusively on special teams Week 18 versus Las Vegas. Eli Apple (hamstring) was activated off IR on Friday to take Taylor's spot on the active roster and to potentially serve as cornerback depth in Saturday's wild-card game against Houston.

Taylor (rib) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor registered an LP/DNP/LP practice log this week due to a rib injury, and it appears the 2022 sixth-round pick is unlikely to take the field Saturday. Tony Jefferson, Tarheeb Still and Deane Leonard would all be candidates to see more work on special teams and in the secondary if Taylor is unable to play.

Taylor (lower leg) logged a full practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor injured his fibula during the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns. He was unable to practice Wednesday, but he steadily increased his practice participation over the week and will be able to suit up for Sunday's game. Taylor has logged 14 tackles (10 solo), three pass breakups and one fumble recovery across six regular-season games.

Taylor (lower leg) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor sustained an injury to his fibula in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns, so missing Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise. The third-year pro is likely in jeopardy of missing his third game of the season in Week 10's matchup against the Titans if he's unable to practice in at least a limited fashion either Thursday or Friday.

Taylor is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to a leg injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Specifically, Taylor injured his fibula. In his absence, Elijah Molden figures to fill in at the slot cornerback position. The severity of Taylor's injury is unknown at this time.

Taylor (leg) is active for Monday night's game against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the previous two games, Taylor was able to practice on a limited basis all week and is ready to return. It's a boost to the Los Angeles secondary after Asante Samuel (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve last week.

Taylor (leg) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor has missed the Chargers' last two games due to a leg injury, but he could return for Week 7 after being a limited participant in all three practices this week. Across the first three games of the regular season, Taylor accumulated 11 tackles (eight solo) and one fumble recovery. Cam Hart and Elijah Molden are the only healthy corners heading into Monday's game, with both Taylor and Kristian Fulton (hamstring) listed as questionable, while Deane Leonard (hamstring) has been ruled out.

Taylor (leg) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor has now logged back-to-back limited sessions to begin the Chargers' week of practice, which suggests he may be nearing a return to the field. The third-year pro has missed the Chargers' last two games due to this knee injury, and his participation in Saturday's practice will likely be the best indication of whether he can play in Monday night's matchup against the Cardinals.
