J.J. Taylor rushed six times for 18 yards in Houston’s Week 4 win over the Jaguars.
He was targeted once. Taylor wound up getting a couple of red-zone carries and not doing much with them. Taylor will likely remain on the practice squad in Week 5 with Joe Mixon on schedule to return.
Texans waived/released RB J.J. Taylor, DT McTelvin Agim, LB Tarique Barnes, DE Solomon Byrd, WR Quintez Cephus, G Dieter Eiselen, DE Malik Fisher, DE Ali Gaye, FB Troy Hairston, DT Marcus Harris, WR Johnny Johnson III, CB Troy Pride, WR Ben Skowronek, RB J.J. Taylor, LB Max Tooley, OT Kilian Zierer, FB Nick Bawden, FB Andrew Beck, QB Tim Boyle, WR Noah Brown, T Cameron Erving, CB Mike Ford, OT Charlie Heck, CB CJ Henderson, S Lonnie Johnson Jr., CB Desmond King II, LB Jacob Phillips, OG Chris Reed, CB D’Angelo Ross, and OT David Sharpe.
The Texans are keeping Dameon Pierce and Cam Akers as backup options for Joe Mixon. British Brooks made the roster as the team’s fullback. Taylor will be a candidate for the team’s practice squad.
KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports RB J.J. Taylor is signing with the Texans’ practice squad following a visit Tuesday.
Taylor spent time with the Patriots each of the last three seasons before getting released in August prior to the 2023 season. He joins the Texans practice squad, where he will get opportunity should Dameon Pierce or Devin Singletary get hurt. Taylor should only be on fantasy radars if anything changes for Houston’s backfield.
Patriots signed RB J.J. Taylor, LB Terez Hall, DB Brad Hawkins, OL Hayden Howerton, DB Quandre Mosely, LB Calvin Munson, WR Tre Nixon, DL Jeremiah Pharms Jr., DL LaBryan Ray, TE Matt Sokol, and TE Scotty Washington to reserve/future contracts.
Taylor was active for Week 9 in Damien Harris' stead, carrying 10 times for nine yards in his only appearance of the season. Both Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong appear to be well ahead of him on the depth chart at this point.
