Taylor was not listed on the Injury report Wednesday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor'slower-body injury was suspected to be minor and this confirms it as he is already back to full strength. After not playing in a single game for the Giants due to opting out, the 24-year-old cornerback needs all the time he can get to prove himself and earn a depth role in Philadelphia's secondary.

Taylor is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor can ill afford to miss significant time as he battles to secure a depth role in the Eagles' secondary. That being said, his day-to-day label suggests the cornerback will likely be back before Philadelphia's Aug. 12 preseason opener against Pittsburgh.
