  • Trent Taylor: Back to practice squad

    Taylor reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

    Taylor was elevated to the active roster with Jacob Cowing (shoulder) and Chris Conley (oblique) inactive for Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. However, the 30-year-old only saw two snaps on offense and was not targeted.

  • 49ers' Trent Taylor: Elevated from practice squad

    The 49ers elevated Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Taylor will be elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season. He'll provide depth at wide receiver and as a kick and punt returner if Jacob Cowing (shoulder) is unable to play Sunday against the Cardinals. Taylor played in all 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2023 and tallied 188 punt return yards.

  • Trent Taylor: Healthy again

    Taylor signed with the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.

    The wide receiver was waived by the team Tuesday. Taylor competed for a returner role during the preseason, but he suffered an undisclosed injury and may not have made the team anyway. He has not caught 10 balls in a season since 2020.

  • 49ers' Trent Taylor: Dealing with injury

    Taylor (undisclosed) worked off on the sideline during Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    It seems that Taylor sustained an injury in recent days, as he didn't participate in team drills Wednesday. The Lousianna Tech product is battling for the team's top kick and punt returner spot, so missing time could hurt his chances of winning those jobs. Expect Ronnie Bell to assume all the first-team punt and kick return duties while Taylor nurses his injury.

  • 49ers' Trent Taylor: Returns to Bay Area

    Taylor signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports.

    Taylor started his career in San Francisco before a two-year stay with the Bengals, and he spent the 2023 campaign with the Bears. The 29-year-old will have the opportunity to earn a role in the return game with the Niners after the departure of Ray-Ray McCloud in free agency this offseason.

  • Trent Taylor: Could return to Bay Area

    Taylor has talked to the 49ers about a potential return to the team, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Taylor was selected by San Francisco in the fifth round of the 2017 Draft and spent three seasons there before stops in Cincinnati and Chicago. The 49ers do currently have a void in their return game, with Ray-Ray McCloud now in Atlanta, which is likely where the interest in Taylor lies.

  • Bears' Trent Taylor: Heads toward free agency

    Taylor played 24 percent of the snaps but wasn't targeted in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    In his first year with Chicago and sixth season as a pro, Taylor's main value was as a punt returner. The veteran played fewer than 10 percent of the offensive snaps in more than half of his games, and his only touch of the season was a rushing attempt that resulted in a two-yard loss. He was also targeted once this season. Taylor is now an unrestricted free agent.

  • Bears' Trent Taylor: No targets in Week 14

    Taylor went without a target while playing 10 of 71 snaps on offense and returned four punts for 56 yards in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Lions.

    Taylor has yet to record a reception through 13 appearances on the season and has just two targets to his name over 71 snaps on offense. He looks like he'll continue to provide most of his value to the Bears on special teams through his role as the team's punt returner.

  • Bears' Trent Taylor: First target of season

    Taylor failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Taylor sees most of his playing time on special teams, and it doesn't seem likely that he'll move into a prominent role in the offense in the near future.

  • Bears' Trent Taylor: Signing with Chicago

    Taylor is signing with the Bears on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Taylor was released by the Bengals on Tuesday, but he landed a spot on Chicago's active roster a day later. The 2017 fifth-rounder saw most of his production as a return man last year, racking up 340 yards on punt returns. Velus Jones was absent for an undisclosed reason late in training camp and the preseason, and Taylor would be a candidate to take on return duties if Jones misses time during the regular season.

  • Trent Taylor: Cut by Bengals

    Cincinnati is slated to release Taylor on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Taylor was effective for the Bengals last season, when he recorded a career-high 340 punt return yards across 16 appearances. His release is somewhat surprising, and may speak to what the team saw from Charlie Jones and/or Kwamie Lassiter during the preseason.

  • Bengals' Trent Taylor: Staying in Cincy

    Taylor re-signed with the Bengals on a one-year contract in March of 2023, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Taylor was one of the league's most effective punt returners in 2022, ranking fourth in punt return yards with 340. His role as a receiver in Cincinnati's high-powered offense has been minimal, though, as Taylor has only eight catches in two seasons with the Bengals.

  • Bengals' Trent Taylor: Plays exclusively on special teams

    Taylor played all three of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens and took back two punts for 12 yards.

    Since drawing a season-high four targets while playing 77 percent of the Bengals' snaps on offense Week 14 against the Browns, Taylor's role on offense has evaporated while Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd have returned to full health. Taylor played just two snaps on offense over the Bengals' last three regular-season games and finished the campaign with six catches for 62 yards on 10 targets. He'll likely be limited exclusively to a special-teams role during the Bengals' upcoming postseason run.

  • Bengals' Trent Taylor: Set to play Saturday

    Taylor (hamstring) does not carry a game status on the Bengals' final Week 16 injury report.

    Taylor has been limited during practice while dealing with a hamstring injury the past two weeks. While he was listed as questionable last week, the 28-year-old was still able to suit up for Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. With no injury designation this time around, expect Taylor to continue seeing the majority of his work on special teams now Cincinnati's wide receiver corps is back to full health.

  • Bengals' Trent Taylor: Limited on Tuesday's estimate

    Taylor (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Taylor entered last weekend's matchup against Tampa Bay with a questionable tag due to a hamstring issue, but he was ultimately able to suit up. He's now opened Week 16 prep as a limited participant during Tuesday's walk-through session, though it would be surprising if Saturday's contest versus New England accounted for the 28-year-old's first missed game of the 2022-23 campaign given that he's already played through hamstring concerns this season.
