96 Vincent Taylor DT

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 him 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 lock to make the final roster, but a strong camp has certainly helped his case moving forward.
