96 Vincent Taylor DT

Taylor was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

The reserve defensive tackle can now resume trying to stake his claim for a roster spot, a quest that will be made slightly easier due to 2019 starter Star Lotulelei choosing to sit out the 2020 season.

Taylor was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The reserve defensive lineman will now enter NFL protocol pertaining to COVID-19. Taylor played in just three games with the Bills last season, accumulating six tackles.

Taylor was promoted to the active roster Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

The Bills have been tinkering with their defensive tackle group ever since Harrison Phillips went down with a season-ending injury, and Saturday's depth move is to swap Taylor -- a former Dolphin with 21 games of NFL experience -- for Kyle Peko.

Taylor has fully recovered from toe surgery after landing on injured reserve in late October, Adam Beasley of The Miami Herald reports.

Taylor was recently cleared to resume football activities and is good to go for Organized Team Activities in the spring. The 25-year-old had 27 tackles (15 solo) and two sacks in eight games for the Dolphins last season, and figures to play a sizable role in the defensive line rotation in 2019.

The Dolphins placed Taylor (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

Taylor was carted off the field with a foot injury during Thursday's loss to the Texans and was unable to return. The exact diagnosis hasn't been revealed yet, though the Dolphins obviously think it's serious enough to put him on IR. Expect Jamiyus Pittman to see an increased workload in Taylor's absence.

Taylor was carted off the field during Thursday's contest against the Texans with a foot injury and is questionable to return, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

Taylor was carted off in the first half, which is certainly not a good sign for his chances of returning to the game Thursday. If he remains out, expect Jamiyus Pittman to see an increased role on the Dolphins' interior defensive line.

Taylor has emerged as a standout among the defensive front through the early portion of training camp, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

Jackson, coming off a gruesome knee injury that landed him on injured reserve at the end of last season, appears to be back in full force. Entering his second season, Jackson is not a lock to make the final roster, but a strong camp has certainly helped his case moving forward.

The Dolphins placed Taylor (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Taylor injured his knee in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs and wasn't going to progress quickly enough to suit up for the season finale against the Bills. The rookie sixth-round pick compiled 18 tackles and played 185 defensive snaps in 13 games this season.

Taylor is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs after suffering a knee injury.

Taylor suffered the injury early on in Sunday's tilt. It's unclear what the specifics of the issue are at this time. Look for Davon Godchaux to see some added snaps as the only healthy backup at defensive tackle as long as Taylor is sidelined.

The Dolphins selected Taylor in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 194th overall.

Taylor (6-foot-3, 304 pounds) looks like a very nice pick for Miami here. He totaled 21.5 tackles for loss over the last two years at Oklahoma State, and at the Combine he showed encouraging athletic metrics -- his 5.07-second 40, 108-inch broad jump, and 7.58-second three-cone drill were all good for his size.
