The Jets waived Taylor on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The 26-year-old defensive lineman has been inactive each of the last four weeks after playing a total of 47 defensive snaps across Weeks 1 and 2 with the Jets. He'll look for a new opportunity elsewhere.
Taylor (undisclosed) passed a physical and was activated from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Taylor opened the Jets' training camp on the sidelines with an undisclosed injury, but he appears to have fully recovered. The defensive lineman is competing with the likes of Bruce Hector and Tanzel Smart for an active roster spot in 2024.

The Jets placed Taylor (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Despite having mid-round grades from some outlets, Taylor wasn't drafted out of Miami earlier this year and signed with the Jets as a free agent. Taylor will need to get on the field sooner rather than later if he wants to maximize his chances of making the roster.
