It's tremendous news for Taylor and his family after he was loaded onto a stretcher and carted off amid a silent Pittsburgh crowd. "A really, really positive report," Carroll said when asked about Taylor's status. "His MRI stuff was clear. His CT scan stuff was clear. He does not have a neck injury. He got jammed pretty good. We got to wait and see what it's like. It may be a little bit more in his shoulder even as we figure it out." Taylor was reportedly upset when trainers didn't let him walk off the field under his own power. Carroll said the 2020 second-round draft pick has a shot to play Monday night against the Saints. 

It was a scary sight with members of both teams coming out onto the field to wish Taylor the best. The 2020 second-round pick was having a fantastic game in all facets prior to this injury. He was moving his legs and talking to medical staff before he left.
