Patrick Taylor Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

No touches Thursday Taylor was on the field for three offensive snaps (six percent) and did not record a touch in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.

Impact Taylor had an outside chance of starting Thursday's contest after fill-in starter Issac Guerendo missed multiple practices with a foot injury. The latter got a limited session in Wednesday before ultimately starting and logging 16 carries for 57 yards in the loss. Taylor did not record a touch while spending most of his night on special teams (17 snaps). With a few extra days of rest between Thursday's loss and next Sunday's tilt against Miami, Guerendo figures to start again for the 6-8 49ers in Week 16.

Week 15 role TBD Taylor may not start Thursday versus the Rams with Isaac Guerendo (foot) active for the contest.

Impact If Guerendo wasn't able to play Week 15, Taylor was lined up to be the 49ers' primary runner for at least one game. Having said that, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Guerendo felt good following Wednesday's limited practice, which was enough for the team to clear him. Taylor likely will cede a majority share of touches if Guerendo indeed is able to start, but the former still will be in the mix for snaps along with practice-squad call-up Ke'Shawn Vaughn. In nine appearances this season, Taylor has tallied 14 carries for 50 yards and one TD and gathered in one of two targets for 12 yards.

Finishes game as lead back Taylor rushed seven times for 25 yards and a touchdown while failing to pull in his lone target in Sunday's 38-13 win over Chicago.

Impact Fill-in starter Isaac Guerendo (foot) went down late in Sunday's win with a lower-body injury, affording Taylor the opportunity to score his first touchdown as a member of the 49ers. Guerendo's injury was speculated to be a foot sprain by the coaching staff, but there will likely be a clearer picture painted early in the upcoming practice week. Taylor would stand to gain the most fantasy value as the next man up should Guerendo be forced to miss any time. With a short week on tap ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Rams, Taylor should be the hot add on waivers a week after Guerendo (who scored twice Sunday) had fantasy managers scrambling to acquire him.

Injuries to Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason give Isaac Guerendo a rare starting shot on 49ers

Ever since making the switch from high school receiver to running back in college, Isaac Guerendo has had few opportunities to show what he can do as a runner

DECEMBER 5 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Promoted to active roster The 49ers promoted Taylor on Wednesday from the practice squad to the active roster.

Impact Taylor's promotion comes as no surprise after the 49ers lost Christian McCaffrey to a knee injury and Jordan Mason to an ankle injury, temporarily leaving rookie Isaac Guerendo as the only healthy running back on the active roster. Geurendo figures to step in as the lead runner, but Taylor may get a decent chunk of the playing time, especially on passing downs. The 49ers also added RB Israel Abanikanda this week, claiming him off waivers, while Ke'Shawn Vaughn is a new addition to the practice squad.

Joins active roster The 49ers signed Taylor to their active roster Wednesday.

Impact With Christian McCaffrey (knee), Jordan Mason (ankle) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) all likely sidelined for the remainder of the season, Taylor's signing to the active roster provides crucial depth at running back. The fourth-year pro from Memphis is expected to serve as the 49ers' No. 2 running back moving forward, playing behind rookie Isaac Guerendo.

49ers running back Christian McCaffrey headed to IR with an injured right knee

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will not need surgery on his injured right knee but he will miss the rest of the regular season

Sticking around in San Francisco The 49ers signed Taylor to the practice squad Tuesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Taylor was waived by the 49ers on Friday to make room on the 53-man roster for the return of Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve. After clearing waivers, Taylor has opted to stay with the 49ers on the practice squad and will be available for a game day elevation in case San Francisco needs depth at running back. Taylor mostly played on special teams in eight regular-season games before the 49ers' Week 9 bye, but he managed to post seven carries for 25 yards and added one catch for 12 yards over that span.

Dropped by San Francisco The 49ers waived Taylor on Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) expected to return for San Francisco's Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers, Taylor has been dropped from the active roster. The Memphis product appeared in eight games this season, logging seven carries for 25 yards and one reception for 12 yards across 95 total snaps (18 offensive and 77 on special teams). Taylor could find his way back onto the 49ers' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Extra work Thursday Taylor rushed five times for 16 yards and caught his lone target for 12 receiving yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.

Impact Starter Jordan Mason (shoulder) missed chunks of Thursday's victory over the Seahawks due to injury, opening the door for Isaac Guerendo (10-99-0) and Taylor to split snaps in the interim. The 49ers' fourth-round rookie had the standout performance in Mason's absence, while Taylor produced just 3.2 yards per tote in his first action on offense this year. The 26-year-old Taylor could maintain a small role on offense if Mason is forced to miss the team's next game against the Chiefs on Oct. 20 due to the AC joint injury he sustained in Thursday's win.

Only sees one snap Monday Taylor logged one snap on special teams in Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets.

Impact The backup running back was barely used in a contest that did not feature starter Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles). Taylor currently sits behind Jordan Mason (58 snaps) and Isaac Guerendo (13 snaps) in terms of pecking order behind McCaffrey on the 49ers' depth chart.

Breaks long run in win Taylor had two carries for 29 yards in Sunday's 27-19 victory over the Chiefs.

Impact Taylor worked as the backup running back for a second straight week with Aaron Jones (knee) out again, but the Packers opted to lean on AJ Dillon, who outsnapped Taylor two to one and recorded 19 touches to Taylor's two. It's not yet known if Jones will return for Week 14, but even if he remains sidelined, it's unlikely Taylor's role will change much.

Heads back to Green Bay The Packers signed Taylor off the Patriots' practice squad Monday.

Impact With Aaron Jones injured earlier in the season, Taylor appeared in four games for Green Bay, recording an 11-31-0 rushing line and 5-28-0 receiving on 10 targets. He then landed in New England after the Packers exhausted Taylor's elevations to the 53-man roster. With Jones (knee) hurt again, along with Emanuel Wilson (shoulder), Taylor is back to complement AJ Dillon.

Joins Pats' practice squad New England signed Taylor to its practice squad Wednesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact A little over a week after being cut by Green Bay, Taylor has now found a new opportunity to make an impression with the Patriots. Over four games with the Packers this season, Taylor took 11 carries for 31 yards and caught five of 10 targets for 28 yards.
