Bears' Darrell Taylor: Strong Chicago debut
Taylor posted eight tackles and two sacks in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Taylor recorded two of the three sacks Chicago tallied in the season opener. After acquiring Montez Sweat last year, the Bears are hoping that Taylor can build on the success he showed back in 2022, when he recorded 9.5 sacks while playing 16 games with Seattle. If Taylor is on waivers in IDP leagues, he may be worth a claim after his dominant performance.

Bears' Darrell Taylor: Ready for Week 1
Taylor (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
The backup defensive end missed Friday's practice and was listed as questionable. Taylor was traded to the Bears in August from the Seahawks for a sixth-round pick. A 2020 second-round pick of Seattle, the 27-year-old recorded 91 tackles (67 solo), 21.5 sacks and six forced fumbles in three seasons with the Seahawks.

Bears' Darrell Taylor: Could miss Week 1
Taylor (foot) did not participate in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Taylor was a surprise addition to Chicago's injury report Friday, as the 27-year-old practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. If Taylor is unable to suit up Sunday due to his foot injury, expect rookie Austin Booker to see more snaps with the Bears' first-team defense.

Bears' Darrell Taylor: Sent to Chi-Town
The Seahawks sent Taylor to the Bears for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Taylor will join the Bears after three seasons in Seattle, where he amassed 91 tackles (67 solo), 21.5 sacks and six forced fumbles. The defensive end will now join the 4-3 Chicago defense, likely sitting behind consistent producer Montez Sweat on the depth chart.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Running it back in Seattle
The Seahawks re-signed Taylor on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Taylor is coming off an underwhelming season as a pass rusher in 2023, when he posted a career-low 5.5 sacks. He'll hope to record his first double-digit sack season in his fourth year in the league.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Contributes 5.5 sacks in 2023
Taylor posted 28 tackles (17 solo) and 5.5 sacks across 17 games during the 2023 season.
Taylor averaged 29.1 defensive snaps per game, which is on par with his usage through his first two full NFL seasons. He took a step back compared to last season's 9.5 sacks, but second-year linebacker Boye Mafe took a big leap forward with 9.0 sacks this year. Mafe's emergence along with Uchenna Nwosu's (pectoral) 2022 breakout could make the Seahawks feel comfortable letting Taylor walk in free agency this March, but this defense struggled to consistently pressure the passer in 2023, so it will likely try to retain the Tennessee product.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Good to go Monday
Taylor (abdomen) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Eagles, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Taylor popped up on the injury report Friday as a result of not practicing due to the abdomen issue, but he was a full participant Saturday. As such, he'll be able to suit up Monday. Taylor has played in all 13 games for Seattle so far this season, tallying 20 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Added to injury report Friday
Taylor did not practice Friday due to an injury to his abdomen, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Taylor practiced in full Thursday but appears to have picked up an abdominal injury, causing him to miss practice Friday. His status for Monday's contest against the Eagles is thus in doubt. Taylor hasn't missed any games so far this season, tallying 20 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks, over 13 contests.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Back at practice
Taylor was a full participant at Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Taylor was a non-participant at Thursday's practice after aggravating a shin injury in last week's win over the Panthers. However, his full workload Friday indicates he has moved on from the issue. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at linebacker, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Aggravates shin injury
Taylor aggravated a previous injury after getting hit in the shin during Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers, according to coach Pete Carroll, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Taylor's injury was originally deemed a leg injury, but Carroll revealed after the game that it was more specifically a shin injury for the linebacker. Taylor will have an extra day to recover before the Seahawks face the Giants on MNF in Week 4.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Doubtful to return
Taylor is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers with a leg injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Taylor left the game in the second quarter without recording a stat. Expect linebackers like Derick Hall, Devin Bush and Nick Bellore to see an uptick in production if Taylor is unable to return.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Filling in Sunday
Taylor is projected to start in place of injured Boye Mafe (knee) ahead of Sunday's game against Detroit, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The 26-year-old is in line to make his first start of the year against a tough Lions offense. Taylor has appeared in 33 games throughout his three-year career in Seattle, making eight starts and recording 64 tackles, 16 sacks and five forced fumbles.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Practices without restrictions
Taylor (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
The linebacker sprained his shoulder in a training camp practice back on Aug. 1 but did not need surgery, and he participated on a limited basis in Seattle's Wednesday session. The 2020 second-round pick started eight games over the past two years and recorded 26 quarterback hits, 16 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss in that span. Now that he's back, Taylor should play a significant role in 2023.
