Taylor (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. Taylor missed Week 10 versus New England but should be back in the lineup for his rotational role off the edge for the Bears. On the season, Taylor has 17 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
Taylor (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Taylor started the week with consecutive limited practices, but he was a DNP on Friday and will be sidelined for Sunday's game due to a knee injury. Week 11 against Green Bay on Sunday, Nov. 17 will be Taylor's next chance to play.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 10.0-sack season in his fourth year in the league.
