Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Quiet in preseason start
Tyrod Taylor completed one of two passes for minus-1 yard in Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over the Commanders.Taylor played the first two drives with the New York Jets holding out most of their starters, including Aaron Rodgers. The veteran backup didn't do much of note in his Jets debut, but Taylor isn't in any danger of losing the backup role to Jordan Travis (ankle) or Andrew Peasley, the latter of whom threw a touchdown pass on the next drive after Taylor exited the game. Taylor will likely see more extensive action in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.

Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Expected to join Jets
Tyrod Taylor has agreed on terms on a two-year, $18 million deal with the New York Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Taylor is staying in New York but will sport a different jersey. The journeyman signal-caller accumulated 1,399 yards and six touchdowns through the air across 14 games (five starts) during his two-year stint with the Giants. With 58 career starts under his belt, he's a safe veteran choice to back up Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), as the Jets were determined to improve in that department following the 2023 season.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Nearly reaches 300 yards in win
Tyrod Taylor completed 23 of 32 passes for 297 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles. He added 38 rushing yards on eight carries.The veteran quarterback might have topped 300 yards for the second straight game, but he briefly left late in the first quarter to get his thumb checked out, and Tommy DeVito completed a five-yard pass in his absence. Taylor, who has played for five teams over the last seven seasons alone, will be a free agent in the offseason and isn't likely to return to the New York Giants with DeVito and Daniel Jones (knee) on the depth chart, but the 34-year-old showed in 2023 he can still be effective and likely won't have much trouble landing elsewhere.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Cleared to face Eagles
Tyrod Taylor (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Coach Brian Daboll never seemed worried about Taylor's back injury, naming the 34-year-old as his Week 18 starting quarterback Wednesday. Taylor led a second-half rally against the Eagles in Week 16, ultimately falling short in a 33-25 loss after replacing Tommy DeVito at halftime. The rematch may be impacted by snow, and there's also some chance the Eagles rest key players or remove some of them early.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Reps capped again Thursday
Tyrod Taylor (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Taylor's practice reps were managed for the second day in a row, and even though he's already been named the Giants' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Eagles, he may need to put in a full practice Friday to approach the season finale without a designation. The Giants re-signed Jacob Eason to their practice squad Thursday to provide depth at quarterback in case Taylor can't play this weekend, though Tommy DeVito would be the next man up to start.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Listed as limited Wednesday
Tyrod Taylor (back) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.Earlier Wednesday, head coach Brian Daboll named Taylor the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Eagles, suggesting that the New York Giants don't anticipate the back injury hindering the signal-caller's availability for the season finale. Nonetheless, Taylor's participation level in practice Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring as the Giants prepare for a rematch with a reeling Philadelphia defense against whom Taylor threw for 133 yards in one half of action two weeks ago.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Getting Week 18 start
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Tyrod Taylor will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's season finale versus the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.Though the Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention, Daboll will stick with the veteran signal-caller in Week 18 rather than pivoting back to undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito. While making his fourth start and 10th appearance of the season in this past Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams, Taylor completed 27 of 41 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 40 yards on six rushing attempts.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor: Tops 300 yards in losing effort
Tyrod Taylor completed 27 of 41 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams. He added 40 yards on six rushing attempts.Taylor threw for just 101 yards in the first half with no touchdowns and an interception as the New York Giants took a 14-10 deficit into the locker room. He was better in the second half and got New York back into the game with an 80-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton in the third quarter, but Taylor made a pair of crucial mistakes in the fourth. He threw behind Jalin Hyatt on a fourth-and-1 completion that came up short, then had an even more egregious miss on a throw behind a wide open Saquon Barkley as the Giants went for the go-ahead two-point conversion after scoring a special-teams touchdown with 3:27 remaining. Taylor nearly atoned for the mistakes with a 31-yard scramble to set up a go-ahead field-goal attempt in the final minute, but Mason Crosby hooked a 54-yarder wide. It remains to be seen whether the Giants stick with Taylor or go back to rookie Tommy DeVito for a Week 18 game against the Eagles that means much more to Philadelphia.
