Patrick Taylor: Sticking around in San Francisco
The 49ers signed Patrick Taylor to the practice squad Tuesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Taylor was waived by the 49ers on Friday to make room on the 53-man roster for the return of Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve. After clearing waivers, Taylor has opted to stay with the 49ers on the practice squad and will be available for a game day elevation in case San Francisco needs depth at running back. Taylor mostly played on special teams in eight regular-season games before the 49ers' Week 9 bye, but he managed to post seven carries for 25 yards and added one catch for 12 yards over that span.

Patrick Taylor: Dropped by San Francisco
The 49ers waived Patrick Taylor on Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.With Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) expected to return for San Francisco's Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers, Taylor has been dropped from the active roster. The Memphis product appeared in eight games this season, logging seven carries for 25 yards and one reception for 12 yards across 95 total snaps (18 offensive and 77 on special teams). Taylor could find his way back onto the 49ers' practice squad if he clears waivers.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: Extra work Thursday
Patrick Taylor rushed five times for 16 yards and caught his lone target for 12 yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.Starter Jordan Mason (shoulder) missed chunks of Thursday's victory due to injury, opening the door for Isaac Guerendo (10-99-0) and Taylor to split snaps in the interim. The San Francisco 49ers' fourth-round rookie had the standout performance in the starter's absence, while Taylor produced just 3.2 yards per tote in his first action on offense this season. The 26-year-old Taylor could maintain a small role in San Francisco's Week 7 game plan if Mason is forced to sit against Kansas City due to the AC joint injury he sustained Thursday.

49ers' Patrick Taylor: Finds home in San Fran
Patrick Taylor and the San Francisco 49ers agreed to terms on a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Taylor spent the last four seasons in Green Bay, suiting up for 34 regular-season games from 2021 through 2023. During that time, he largely contributed on special teams before taking on an increased depth role on offense in 2023, when he rushed a career-high 32 times for 141 yards in 11 appearances. Heading into his first training camp with San Francisco, Taylor will compete for a depth role behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Finishes fourth on depth chart
Patrick Taylor had 32 carries for 141 yards and 11 receptions for 49 yards over 11 regular-season games in 2023.Taylor easily had his most productive campaign as a professional, as he set career highs nearly across the board and ran for a respectable 4.4 YPC. He's been a trusted back for the Green Bay Packers since 2021, but he spent the early portion of the season on the practice squad and was even waived before being brought back in late November. There's a chance he could return to Green Bay for a fourth go-around, but he ended the season fourth on the depth chart, so it would not be surprising if the Packers opt to go in a different direction.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Relegated to third string
Wilson had three carries for six yards in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.Backfield mate AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) did not suit up Sunday, but it was Emanuel Wilson rather than Patrick Taylor who worked as the backup behind starter Aaron Jones. It looks like Wilson will be next in line for touches if Dillon misses another game, but Green Bay could turn to Taylor more frequently against the 49ers, as he has earned more trust than his counterpart in pass protection.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Takes eight carries late
Patrick Taylor had eight carries for 30 yards in Sunday's 33-10 victory over the Vikings.The 30 yards tied a season high for Taylor, who finished second among Green Bay Packers running backs in snaps, yardage and carries. All of his totes came in the fourth quarter, though, after fellow running back AJ Dillon left with a stinger and the game had essentially been decided. Taylor remains third on the backfield depth chart, but he could see an elevated workload again behind Aaron Jones if Dillon is unable to play in Week 18 against the Bears.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Four touches in Week 16
Patrick Taylor had three carries for four yards and one reception for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 33-30 victory over the Panthers.Taylor tallied multiple touches for the fourth time in five games, but with both Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon suiting up in the same game for the first time since Week 11, he was relegated to the third spot on the depth chart. If both of his fellow running backs are able to go again in Week 17, expect Taylor to wind up in a similar role.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Limited impact in loss
Patrick Taylor had one carry for six yards and two receptions for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers.With AJ Dillon (thumb) sidelined, Taylor worked as the backup behind Aaron Jones, and he played 26 snaps compared to the 29 that Jones received. However, Taylor only tallied three touches while Jones finished with 17. The Green Bay Packers used a similar distribution in recent weeks when Jones was sidelined and Dillon wasn't, so there is little reason to expect much from Taylor -- he has not recorded more than six touches in a game this season -- unless both of his fellow running backs are unavailable.
