News

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Practices without restrictions

    Taylor (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Sprains shoulder

    Taylor has a sprained left shoulder, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Taylor suffered the injury at Tuesday's practice, but it will not requre surgery according to Bridget Condon of NFL Network. Still, he is currently without a timetable for return, but expect the Seahawks to err on the side of caution with their starting weak-side linebacker.

  • Heats up to finish 2022 season

    Taylor posted 26 tackles (22 solo), 9.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and a pass breakup over 16 regular-season games in the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Taylor piled up three sacks through the first 10 games, but he stacked up 6.5 sacks over the final six contests. The 2020 second-round pick has averaged 30 defensive tackles over the past two seasons, and he has totaled 16 sacks in that stretch. Taylor doesn't rack up tackles, but he has IDP value in deeper leagues because of his pass-rushing skills.

  • Back in Saturday's game

    Taylor (neck) returned to Saturday's wild-card game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Taylor sustained a neck stinger in the second quarter, but the injury won't keep him on the sideline after halftime. He'll thus rejoin Uchenna Nwosu, Boye Mafe and Bruce Irvin as the Seahawks' available outside linebackers.

  • Sustains neck injury Saturday

    Taylor suffered a neck stinger during Saturday's wild-card game at San Francisco.

    Analysis: Midway through the second quarter, Taylor was slow to get up and walked with Seahawks trainers to the sideline, where he visited the blue tent before getting diagnosed with an injury. If Taylor is unable to return, the team will be left with Uchenna Nwosu, Boye Mafe and Bruce Irvin at outside linebacker.

  • Lives in backfield Sunday

    Taylor recorded three tackles (two solo), 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and one pass defensed in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Taylor's 2.5 sacks in Week 17 accounts for his new career best in that department, while he also forced his fourth fumble of the 2022-23 campaign during Sunday's victory. With an abundance of Seattle linebackers currently on injured reserve, the 25-year-old figures to continue playing a prominent role in the team's regular-season finale against the Rams.

  • Good to go Week 16

    Taylor (illness) does not carry a game status ahead of Saturday's game against Kansas City, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Taylor opened Week 16 with an illness that kept him sidelined during practice Tuesday. However, he was able to work his way back in full Wednesday and will be ready to suit up against Kansas City. Taylor has accumulated 18 tackles and five sacks over 13 games this season, and he should provide an important pass-rushing depth behind starter weak-side linebacker Bruce Irvin.

  • Dealing with illness

    Taylor (illness) did not participate in the Seahawks' practice Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Taylor appears to have come down with an illness since Seattle's Week 15 loss to San Francisco on Thursday Night Football. This shouldn't be too concerning, as the 25-year-old will still have two more practices to increase his activity before Thursday's final injury report. Taylor has not played more than 30 percent of defensive snaps in each of the past four games, though his potential absence would leave the Seahawks very short-handed behind starting weakside linebacker Bruce Irvin.

  • Returns to full practice

    Taylor (groin) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Taylor missed a Week 9 win over Arizona due to a groin issue, but he's off to a good start this week with the full practice session Wednesday. The 2020 second-round draft pick has picked up three sacks and three forced fumbles through eight games this season, so his probable return would be a significant boost against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in Week 10.

  • Won't play at Arizona

    Taylor (groin) is out for Sunday's game at the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Taylor will sit out his first full game this season as he recovers from a groin injury he sustained early in Week 8 versus the Giants. His absence should make room for recently-signed veteran Bruce Irvin to play a prominent role again in Week 9.

  • Ruled out for game

    Taylor has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants due to a hip injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Taylor dealt with a groin injury leading up to Sunday's game but sustained a hip injury during the game that will keep him off the field down the stretch. Bruce Irvin has taken on increased snaps in Taylor's absence.

  • Records sack and forced fumble

    Taylor amassed three tackles, one sack and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Taylor displayed solid defensive effort on 67 percent of snaps played, but the team ultimately fell just short in the end. The second-year pass rusher will look to muster another notable performance when the Seahawks play against Detroit on Sunday.

  • Pair of tackles Thursday

    Taylor recorded two solo tackles and a quarterback hit in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: The 2020 second-round pick missed his entire rookie season due to a leg injury, but he impressed in 2021 with 37 tackles (28 solo), 6.5 sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble. The Seahawks expect Taylor to be key to their pass rush in 2022 that also features Uchenna Nwosu, Boye Mafe (shoulder) and Alton Robinson.

  • Impresses as pass rusher

    Taylor posted 37 tackles (28 solo), 6.5 sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble across 16 games during the 2021 season.

    Analysis: Taylor missed his entire rookie season, and he handled a situational role in 2021. He averaged 32 defensive snaps per game, tying Rasheem Green for second on the team in sacks. Taylor may need to take on a larger role in 2022 if Green leaves in free agency, but we should expect the 2020 second-round pick to be a fixture on passing downs regardless.

  • Leads team in sacks

    Taylor made four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Monday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Taylor has played 300 defensive snaps through 10 games, and he has recorded 21 tackles (17 solo), five sacks and a forced fumble. The 2020 second-round pick is doing exactly what he was drafted to do, as he leads the team in sacks and is tied for second with four tackles for loss.

  • Fully practices Wednesday

    Taylor (neck) was listed as a full participant for the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Taylor suffered his neck injury in the Seahawks' Week 6 loss to the Steelers and was unable to play in Week 7. The linebacker will look to return to action in Week 8 against the Jaguars. Expect Taylor to be available Sunday, barring any setbacks.

  • Out Monday

    Taylor (neck) is out for Monday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Head coach Pete Carroll noted Friday he expected Taylor to be available for Monday night's contest, but the linebacker was apparently unable to make enough progress to suit up. Taylor, who has four sacks on the season, will try to return Week 8 against the Jaguars.

  • Listed as questionable for Monday

    Taylor (neck) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Saints, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Taylor remains questionable, but coach Pete Carroll said Friday that he expected the 24-year-old to be available Monday. Taylor had to be carted off the field during Week 6, so the fact that he has even been able to practice this week is a great sign for Seattle's defense. Taylor is leading the Seahawks with four sacks and six QB hits through the first six games of the 2021 campaign.

  • On track to play Monday

    Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that he expects Taylor (neck) to play Monday against the Saints, Brent Stecker of ESPN Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Taylor had to be carted off the field during Week 6, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and may not miss any games. The 24-year-old was sidelined for all of his rookie season while he was recovering from leg surgery, but he's been dominant this year, leading the Seahawks with four sacks and six QB hits through the first six games of the 2021 campaign.

  • May not miss time

    Taylor had an MRI on his shoulder come back clean and may be available for Week 7, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was initially believed to be dealing with a neck injury after being carted off during Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh, so it's good news he's instead managing a shoulder issue. Taylor will have one extra day to get ready for Monday's matchup with the Saints.

  • Carted off against Pitt

    Taylor was carted off after sustaining an injury to his neck in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Taylor collided head-first with another player's body and subsequently lay on the ground nearly motionless. He was responsive before being carted off, but Taylor's most likely looking at a lengthy absence as a result of this injury.

  • Clear for Thursday

    Taylor (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Taylor suffered the injury during Sunday's win against San Francisco, but he was able to put in a full practice Wednesday and avoid the questionable tag. The 2020 second-round pick has 11 tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble through four games this year.

  • Tweaks ankle Sunday

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Taylor "tweaked his ankle a lit bit" during Sunday's win over the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Analysis: Taylor's injury doesn't appear to be that serious, but it'll be worth monitoring with the Seahawks playing Thursday this week. The 24-year-old has played 20-plus defensive snaps in every game this season and has 11 total tackles (nine solo) and three sacks, so his absence would be a big blow to Seattle's defense.

  • Ready to contribute

    Taylor is fully healthy to start the 2021 season, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Taylor spent his rookie season on the reserve/non-football injury list with a leg injury. However, the second-round pick completed training camp and preseason healthy, and he's ready to contribute for the Seahawks in Week 1 against the Colts. The Tennessee product was an explosive pass rusher in college, racking up 8.5 sacks and 10.0 tackles for loss in his senior season. The Seahawks have a deep group of defensive ends, but Taylor's ability to line up as a linebacker could afford him some…read more

  • Back at practice

    Taylor (leg) participated at Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick has been on the non-football injury list all season, and he was finally able to take the practice field Sunday. It's unclear if Taylor will be able to get up to speed to join the active roster for any playoff action, but he's clearly in the final stages of his recovery.

  • Could return for finale

    Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Taylor (leg) will try to practice next week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor has been on the cusp of practicing for more than a month now, and he received an injection in his leg Dec. 7 to help expedite the process. Even Carroll expressed some doubt about Taylor's chances of practicing next week, stating, "We'll see if that can come to life." The rookie second-round pick will remain on the non-football injury list until further notice.

  • Will be evaluated later in December

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Taylor received an injection last week, and it will be a "couple week process," Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Taylor's return to practice seemingly gets pushed off on a weekly basis, as his chances of returning this season are becoming increasingly unlikely. The rookie second-round pick could return for a playoff run, but the Seahawks may be best served by letting Taylor fully recover ahead of the 2021 season.

  • Unlikely to return this year

    Taylor (leg) is looking for an off-campus second opinion on his injury, as the hope that he will return again this year has greatly diminished, Joe Fann of NBC Sports Northwest reports.

    Analysis: It sounded like Taylor was nearing a return less than two weeks ago, but he has seemingly suffered some type of setback. It is looking likely that the rookie will have to set his sights on 2021 for his NFL debut.

  • Hopeful to practice this week

    Taylor (leg) is hopeful to practice this week according to head coach Pete Carroll, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor has been on Seattle's NFI list since the beginning of the season, as he has been rehabbing a leg injury that has held him out of action since the NFL Combine. Even if he does practice this week, the rookie could still be a couple weeks away from game action.

  • Still no clear timetable

    Coach Pete Carroll said Taylor (leg) still has no clear timeline for return from reserve/non-football injury list, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Carroll said he was excited about getting the rookie second-rounder into the lineup, but he wasn't confident that Taylor would be ready to return Week 7 against the 49ers -- the first game he's eligible to play. For the time being, L.J. Collier and Benson Mayowa will start at defensive end, but both Alton Robinson and Damontre Moore have handled decent workloads.

  • No timetable for return

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he's unsure when Taylor (leg) will be able to resume practicing, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The rookie second-round pick continues to rehab from January leg surgery, the severity of which kept him from practicing at all in training camp and led to his placement on the reserve/non-football injury list list to kick off the season. Taylor won't be eligible for activation until November, but at that point he could be available to bolster Seattle's pass rush.

  • Heads to NFI list

    Taylor (leg) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Taylor's NFL debut is on hold, as this leg injury kept him out of training camp and he won't be available until November. At this time, there's no reason to think he won't be ready once he's eligible to be activated, but for the time being, Benson Mayowa (undisclosed) and Rasheem Green are expected to start at defensive end while L.J. Collier and Alton Robinson serve in rotational roles.

  • Not a lock for Week 1

    Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that "it's going to be hard for [Taylor] (leg) to make the opener," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carroll said that Taylor is "still a few weeks away" and noted that the defensive end has recently been away from the team due to the birth of his child. The rookie second-round pick still resides on the active/non-football injury list.

    The Seahawks placed Taylor (leg) on the active/non-football injury list Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor continues to progress in his recovery from a leg injury that kept him from testing at the combine earlier this offseason. The rookie second-round pick should compete for snaps when healthy.
