Taylor signed with the Texans' practice squad Wednesday. The running back was waived by the team Tuesday. Taylor signed a reserve/future contract with Houston in January after spending the second half of 2023 on the team's practice squad. In the preseason, he carried the ball 19 times for 85 yards, returned a kick for 29 yards and three punts for 15 yards.

Houston waived Taylor on Tuesday. Taylor spent the second half of 2023 on the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the Patriots' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He signed a reserve/future contract with Houston in January and entered training camp competing for both a running back depth spot and a return role on special teams. Across four preseason outings, Taylor had 19 carries for 85 yards and added two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards. In addition, he registered a 29-yard kickoff return and turned three punt returns into 15 yards. Taylor could be invited back by Houston to join the practice squad for 2024, but he may look to join a roster elsewhere assuming he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Taylor had one carry for three yards, returned one punt for 10 yards and had a kickoff return for 29 yards in Friday's 20-12 win over the Steelers. Taylor was the third back in the game, with his lone carry coming late in the first half. That places him ahead of Cam Akers and Jawhar Jordan, both of whom played in the second half. Taylor was one of five players to return a punt or kickoff but was the lone player given opportunities for both.

Taylor rushed for 16 yards on six carries and returned one punt for four yards in Thursday's 21-17 preseason loss to Chicago. Taylor is on the fringes of the backfield depth chart, but he has significant collegiate experience returning kicks (kickoffs, not punts) and also filled that role on occasion while with New England the last three seasons. It would seem his clearest path to a roster spot would be via special teams.

The Texans signed Taylor to a reserve/future contract Monday. After being cut by the Patriots following training camp, Taylor eventually landed on Houston's practice squad back in October and spent the rest of the season there. Taylor has 52 career carries for 156 yards (3.0 YPC) and two touchdowns across 12 appearances. He'll try to make an impression this offseason.
