Takes 10 carries in 2022 Taylor had 10 carries for 31 yards and one reception for 17 yards over 14 games in the 2022 season.

Impact Despite not making the cut out of training camp and being waived by the Packers in early November, Taylor still found himself on the roster 14 times in his third season as a professional. With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon again primed to lead the Packers backfield in 2023, Taylor's opportunities will remain limited if he stays with Green Bay.

Plays five Week 16 snaps Taylor was targeted once and caught one pass for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Dolphins.

Impact Taylor made a key play on the Packers' touchdown drive right out of halftime that tied the contest at 20, but he wound up totaling only five snaps even with fellow running back Aaron Jones playing through an ankle injury. Unless Jones is unable to go, expect Taylor to play a bit role again in Week 17 against the Vikings.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes season-high four carries Taylor had four carries for 15 yards in Monday's 24-12 victory over the Rams.

Impact Taylor was signed to the active roster just hours before Monday's contest, and he opened the night as the third running back behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. However, Dillon left the game with a head injury and the Packers did not want to lean solely on Jones, so Taylor picked up four carries on the final drive of the evening. Taylor could operate as the backup in Week 16 if Dillon in unable to go, but in that scenario, Jones would likely handle the bulk of the work in the backfield.

Signed to active roster The Packers signed Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor was previously on the active roster and made seven appearances before being waived at the end of November. He rejoined the team via a practice-squad deal and was elevated for three consecutive contests (Week 11-13). However, across his 10 total appearances, the running back has rushed just once for six yards across seven offensive snaps. He figures to garner a similar role as long as Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are healthy. To make room for Taylor on the active roster, Green Bay waived Sammy Watkins.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back to practice squad Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Taylor saw his first carry of the season and took it for six yards in Sunday's win over the Bears. With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as the only running backs on the team's 53-man roster, it's likely Taylor will find himself on the field again in Week 15 against the Rams, as the Packers are on bye Week 14.

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first carry this season Taylor had one carry for six yards in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears.

Impact Fellow running back Aaron Jones briefly left Sunday's contest with a shin injury, which allowed Taylor to both log a season-high six snaps and run the ball for the first time all season. Jones returned to the contest and presumably will be good to go following the Packers' Week 14 bye, so Taylor remains a distant third option in the backfield for the time being.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to active roster Taylor has been promoted to the Packers' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon both healthy, Taylor's role in Sunday's contest will presumably just be as a special-teams contributor. It will be his 10th game on the active roster this season.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice squad Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Taylor suited up for his ninth game with the Packers on Sunday. Although he failed to see a snap on offense, he did play 10 special-teams snaps against the Eagles. With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as the only running backs on the active roster, it's likely Taylor will find himself suiting up with the team again in Week 13 against the Bears.

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad Taylor has been elevated by Green Bay from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road contest against Philadelphia.

Impact This will be the ninth week this season during which Taylor has been active for the Packers, as he's been signed and waived from the active roster twice but has rejoined the practice squad each time. Taylor hasn't been able to see the field much behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, as he's logged only one offensive snap thus far. Meanwhile, the third-year back has racked up 78 special-teams snaps, and that's likely the primary role he'll play again Week 12.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Packers' practice squad The Packers signed Taylor to their practice squad Friday.

Impact Taylor has bounced on and off the Packers' active roster throughout the season. He was most recently waived Wednesday, though it didn't take long for him to rejoin the team. He has played in eight games on the campaign, with 78 of his 79 snaps coming on special teams.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Packers Green Bay cut Taylor on Wednesday.

Impact Taylor was signed to the active roster Nov. 15 ahead of the Packers' Thursday night loss to Tennessee, but he was limited to a special-teams role in that contest. The 24-year-old has been active for eight of Green Bay's 11 games this season, but he's seen only one offensive snap and no touches. Taylor could return to the Packers' practice squad if he goes unclaimed off waivers.

NOVEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins active roster Taylor was signed to the Packers' active roster from their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Taylor's addition to the active roster comes as the team waived Kylin Hill on Tuesday. The 24-year-old has already appeared in seven games for the Packers this season, but has only seen one snap on offense. With Aaron Jones (shin) questionable for Thursday's game with the Titans, Taylor could be in for a considerable workload, if Jones were to sit.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Signs from practice squad Green Bay signed Taylor from its practice squad to its active roster Saturday.

Impact Taylor was elevated ahead of Week 2 versus Chicago and played only eight snaps on special teams, but the Packers evidently saw enough from him to give him a promotion ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. He will likely continue to contribute exclusively on special teams as long as Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon remain healthy.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to practice squad Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction report.

Impact Taylor got the call to be the Packers' No. 3 running back Sunday against the Bears with Kylin Hill (knee) still on the PUP list. However, he never saw the field on offense and only contributed on eight special-teams snaps. With Hill out for at least two more weeks, Taylor will look to earn another chance with the active roster Sunday against the Buccaneers.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated to active roster The Packers elevated Taylor from their practice squad Saturday to the active roster for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

Impact With Kylin Hill (knee) sidelined, Taylor and Tyler Goodson competed during training camp for the No. 3 spot behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. However, the Packers opted to keep only two running backs on the initial 53-man roster, leaving Taylor and Goodson to sign practice-squad deals. Neither practice-squad player was elevated for Green Bay's season-opening loss, but Taylor will get the first look as the No. 3 RB in Week 2. Last year, he rushed 23 times for 89 yards and scored one touchdown across nine appearances. However, barring injuries, Taylor isn't expected to garner many touches against Chicago.

Patrick Taylor on his performance against Saints: 'It's extremely encouraging'

AUGUST 20, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Sees increased workload Taylor carried the ball eight times for 27 yards in Friday's 20-10 preseason win over the Saints.

Impact Taylor got the start with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon both sitting. He didn't do much with his performance, as he averaged only 3.4 yards per carry and his longest rush went for only five yards. Taylor is in competition with Tyler Goodson to serve as the team's third running back so long as Kylin Hill (knee) remains on the PUP list.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes it easy in preseason opener Taylor had three carries for 10 yards in Friday's preseason opener against the 49ers. He was also targeted twice but did not catch a pass.

Impact Taylor played only 19 snaps Friday, and that may have been at least partly because he missed practice time earlier in camp with an injury. He did not have a rough night, but he was also the only player among the four Packers running backs who took the field that did not make a big play. With Kylin Hill (knee) on the PUP list, Taylor is the favorite to open the season as the Packers' third running back, but he is by no means a lock to do so. Tyler Goodson looks like his primary competition at this point.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Participates in Sunday's practice Taylor (groin) returned to practice Sunday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Taylor missed multiple practices -- including the team's Family Night -- due to a groin injury, but he appears to be on the mend and may return to full practices over the next week. With Kylin Hill (knee) expected to start the 2022 season on the PUP list, the undrafted running back out of Memphis is the favorite to win the backup role behind AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones, though he'll have to prove he's healthy during the Packers' upcoming preseason contests.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from practice once again Taylor (groin) missed practice Wednesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact Just as soon as Taylor returned to practice after being activated from the PUP list a week ago, he's again away from practice. There's still competition for Green Bay's third running back spot, but until either Taylor or Kylin Hill return to camp, that competition will be between Tyler Goodson and B.J. Baylor.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back from PUP list Green Bay activated Taylor off the PUP list Wednesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact It's still unclear why Taylor was placed on the PUP list to begin with, but his term there lasted less than a week. He'll continue to compete for the Packers' third running back spot, and his toughest competition for that role, Kylin Hill, is still on the PUP list himself.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Opening camp on PUP list Taylor (undisclosed) has been placed on the PUP list ahead of training camp, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow running back Kylin Hill, who is bouncing back from a torn ACL that he suffered last October. Both players can come off the PUP list at any time during training camp, and once they do, the duo will slot in behind Green Bay's top backfield options Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon.
