J.J. Taylor: Breaking News

Gets released

Houston released Taylor on Tuesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Taylor got a combined 10 touches for 29 total yards over the Texans' first two preseason games, but he's heading for free agency ahead of their last preseason contest. He'll have to look for his next opportunity with a different team.

Passes physical

The Texans activated Taylor (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Saturday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports. Taylor passed his physical Saturday and is now able to return to practice. With Joe Mixon set to miss extended time with a foot injury, Taylor should have a chance to catch on with the team as a backup running back.

Not ready for training camp

Taylor (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Taylor was essentially a rotational practice-squad back for Houston last year, playing in five contests and totaling 33 offensive snaps. It's unclear what injury Taylor may be dealing with, but the Texans may just be being cautious with their veterans as the team placed 13 players on either the non-football injury list or PUP list before the start of training camp. The 27-year-old can return to the practice field at any point in the offseason, should the team deem him ready, and he will likely need to quickly as Taylor could be competing for a roster spot with newly drafted fourth-round pick, Woody Marks.
