Patriots add former Texans pass-rusher to practice squad ahead of divisional matchup
"Taylor was a second-round pick in 2020 and has had stints with the Seahawks, Bears, and Texans. Houston waived him earlier in the week. His most productive season was with Seattle in 2022, when he posted 9.5 sacks and forced four fumbles along with 26 total tackles. He posted those numbers as a situational pass-rusher, starting just three of the 16 games that year."
"Seattle traded Taylor to Chicago for a sixth-round pick last year. He had 32 tackles, three sacks and a pair of forced fumbles, appearing in 16 of the 17 regular-season games. He played in just four games with the Texans this season and did not record any sacks. The Texans have one of the most effective front-sevens in the game. Houston's defense allowed the fewest yards per game (277.2) in the league this year."
