INJURIES

49ers overhaul defensive line with rookies and Bryce Huff after disappointing season

The San Francisco 49ers have built their defense out from the defensive line ever since coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch arrived eight years ago
JUNE 4, 2025 • Associated Press
Lands on IR The 49ers placed Taylor (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact Taylor signed a reserve/future contract with San Francisco in early January, but the move to IR means he'll likely be out for the entire 2025 campaign. It's not clear what type of injury the receiver is dealing with, though he wasn't expected to be a major part of the team's wideout corps this season. Taylor spent most of last year on San Francisco's practice squad and caught one pass for 11 yards across the two games he saw action in with the 49ers.

Inks reserve/future deal with SF Taylor signed a reserve/future contract with San Francisco on Monday.
Impact Taylor is very familiar with the 49ers after being selected by the organization in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He spent the first three years of his career with San Francisco before logging two seasons with Cincinnati and one with Chicago, and he rejoined the 49ers on a one-year contract last April. Taylor ended up spending most of the 2024 campaign on the team's practice squad but did get elevated for two contests, recording one catch for 11 yards over 14 offensive snaps. He'll continue to serve as organizational receiver depth through the offseason and will get a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp next summer.

49ers Sign WR Trent Taylor, TE Mason Pline and Nine Others to Reserve/Future Contracts The San Francisco 49ers announced they have signed 11 free agents to Reserve/Future contracts.
JANUARY 6, 2025 • 49ERS.COM
Elevated for Week 18 The 49ers elevated Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Impact It's the second time Taylor has been elevated to the active roster this season, with the first taking place for Week 5 against the Cardinals. He'll give San Francisco another return option on special teams and provide depth at wide receiver for Sunday's regular-season finale against Arizona.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • 49ERS.COM
Back to practice squad Taylor reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.
Impact Taylor was elevated to the active roster with Jacob Cowing (shoulder) and Chris Conley (oblique) inactive for Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. However, the 30-year-old only saw two snaps on offense and was not targeted.
OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Elevated from practice squad The 49ers elevated Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor will be elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season. He'll provide depth at wide receiver and as a kick and punt returner if Jacob Cowing (shoulder) is unable to play Sunday against the Cardinals. Taylor played in all 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2023 and tallied 188 punt return yards.
OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Healthy again Taylor signed with the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.
Impact The wide receiver was waived by the team Tuesday. Taylor competed for a returner role during the preseason. He has not caught 10 balls in a season since 2020.
AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Limited Wednesday Taylor (undisclosed) worked off on the side during Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It seems that Taylor sustained an injury in recent days, as he didn't participate in team drills Wednesday. The Lousianna Tech product is battling for the team's top kick and punt returner spot, so missing time could hurt his chances of winning those jobs. Expect Ronnie Bell to assume all the first-team punt and kick return duties while Taylor nurses his injury.

Could return to The Bay Taylor has talked to the 49ers about a potential return to the team this offseason, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Taylor was selected by San Francisco in the fifth round of the 2017 Draft and spent three seasons there before stops in Cincinnati and Chicago. The 49ers do currently have a void in their return game, with Ray-Ray McCloud now in Atlanta, which is likely where the interest in Taylor lies.
APRIL 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
No targets in Week 14 Taylor went without a target while playing 10 of 71 snaps on offense and returned four punts for 56 yards in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Lions.
Impact Taylor has yet to record a reception through 13 appearances on the season and has just two targets to his name over 71 snaps on offense. He looks like he'll continue to provide most of his value to the Bears on special teams through his role as the team's punt returner.

Bengals backflip celebration: Trent Taylor, not Joe Burrow, performs stunt after Cincinnati wins Many thought Joe Burrow performed a backflip at the end of the Bengals' win over the Bills, but it was actually wide receiver Trent Taylor.
JANUARY 29, 2023 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Plays exclusively on special teams Taylor played all three of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 27-16 win over the Ravens and took back two punts for 12 yards.
Impact Since drawing a season-high four targets while playing 77 percent of the Bengals' snaps on offense Week 14 against the Browns, Taylor's role on offense has evaporated while Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd have returned to full health. Taylor played just two snaps on offense over the Bengals' last three regular-season games and finished the campaign with six catches for 62 yards on 10 targets. He'll likely be limited exclusively to a special-teams role during the Bengals' upcoming postseason run.
JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Set to play Saturday Taylor (hamstring) does not carry a game status on the Bengals' final Week 16 injury report.
Impact Taylor has been limited during practice while dealing with a hamstring injury the past two weeks. While he was listed as questionable last week, the 28-year-old was still able to suit up for Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. With no injury designation this time around, expect Taylor to continue seeing the majority of his work on special teams now Cincinnati's wide receiver corps is back to full health.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Limited on Tuesday's estimate Taylor (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor entered last weekend's matchup against Tampa Bay with a questionable tag due to a hamstring issue, but he was ultimately able to suit up. He's now opened Week 16 prep as a limited participant during Tuesday's walk-through session, though it would be surprising if Saturday's contest versus New England accounted for the 28-year-old's first missed game of the 2022-23 campaign given that he's already played through hamstring concerns this season.
DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will be available at Tampa Bay Taylor (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Impact After being limited during practice this week, Taylor appears poised to suit up for Week 15. The 28-year-old wideout has caught six passes for 62 yards on 10 targets through 13 games in 2022.
