The Bengals placed Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.
Taylor signed a one-year contract with the Bengals in early April. The cornerback is set to play a key reserve role in the team's secondary once he can return to the field. Taylor will need to miss at least the first four games of the regular season on IR before becoming eligible to return to the Bengals' active roster.
