Taylor was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Taylor has been elevated from the practice squad for the Texans' Week 6 matchup against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor failed to make the active roster out of training camp as he worked back from surgery to repair his ACL. However, he's apparently healthy enough to contribute along the team's offensive line and will be active for the first time this season.

The Texans released Taylor (undisclosed) from the PUP list following a failed physical.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor underwent surgery to repair his ACL last season, and he is still on his road back to full health. It's unclear what the future looks like for the 31-year-old, as he has played just three regular-season games since 2018.

Taylor (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor underwent surgery to repair his ACL last season, and appeared to be recovering well as he signed a one-year contract with the Texans in April. However, the 31-year-old will have to miss at least some of his first training camp with Houston. When healthy, the Oklahoma State product will likely compete for a starting job.

Taylor (knee) signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After tearing his ACL during Week 1 of the 2020 season, Taylor's recovering well and is expected to be ready for training camp. The 31-year-old is reuniting with his former Green Bay OL Coach James Campen and will aim to provide a notable boost to Houston's offensive line for the 2021 campaign.

Multiple teams around the league, including the Texans, have been checking in on the status of Taylor (knee), Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chroniclereports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor is six months removed from ACL surgery, though he's gaining plenty of interest from teams around the NFL. He visited the 49ers in mid-March and appears to be right on track in his rehab. Assuming he remains on schedule in his recovery, he shouldn't have any trouble finding a team for the upcoming 2021 season.

Taylor (knee-ACL) visited the 49ers on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
In what Rapoport characterized to be a quasi-medical check-in, a source indicated that Taylor's recovery from a torn ACL remains "on schedule". Taylor suffered the injury Week 1 of last season against Minnesota, and he went without an appearance for the remainder of Green Bay's run to the NFC Championship Game. The year prior, in 2019, Taylor managed just two appearances before suffering a left biceps injury and missing the remainder of the season.

Taylor (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor had his season ended Week 1 after being carted off the field. Lucas Patrick has filled in admirably for Taylor at right guard and should continue to hold down the starting spot going forward.

Taylor will undergo surgery on his right knee and miss the rest of the 2020 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old underwent an MRI on Monday and the specifics of the injury remain unclear, but he'll require season-ending surgery. It's a tough break for Taylor, who appeared in only two games in 2019 before going on injured reserve with a biceps injury. Lucas Patrick (shoulder) is probable for Week 2 and is expected to step in at right guard for Green Bay.
