  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Plays key role in Week 3

    Taylor had three carries for six yards and three receptions for 23 yards in Sunday's 18-17 victory over the Saints.

    Taylor did not produce big numbers, but his 29 offensive snaps were roughly five times as many as Emanuel Wilson's six and just a handful fewer than the 37 that AJ Dillon saw as Green Bay's starting running back. The front office could have some tough decisions to make soon, as having already been elevated from the practice squad three times, Taylor can no longer suit up without being added to the 53-man roster -- and he could be needed again in Week 4 if top running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) isn't able to take the field Thursday against the Lions.

  • Patrick Taylor: Returns to practice squad

    Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

    Taylor was elevated for the third contest in a row Sunday, turning three carries into six yards while reeling in three passes for 23 yards in the Packers' 18-17 win over the Saints. The running back logged 29 offensive snaps while operating as the team's primary backup behind AJ Dillon in Green Bay's backfield with Aaron Jones (hamstring) unavailable. If Jones can't play Thursday night versus Detroit, the Packers may have to officially sign Taylor to the 53-man roster since he's already been elevated three times this year.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Elevated from practice squad

    The Packers elevated Taylor to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Since this is the third time that the Packers have called up Taylor from the practice squad, they will have to sign him to their roster if they wish to continue fielding him for the rest of the season. Taylor split snaps with Emanuel Wilson behind AJ Dillon in their 25-24 loss to the Falcons in Week 2. Taylor has registered six carries for 23 yards in two contests this season.

  • Patrick Taylor: Back to practice squad

    Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

    Taylor was elevated for the second straight week from Green Bay's practice squad, garnering one carry for one yard while operating as the primary backup to AJ Dillon in the Packers' 25-24 loss to Atlanta. If Aaron Jones (hamstring) can't go again in Week 3 versus New Orleans, it's possible Taylor gets elevated again.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Shares backup duties in Week 2

    Taylor had one carry for one yard in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.

    Taylor and Emanuel Wilson split the snaps behind AJ Dillon with Aaron Jones (hamstring) sidelined, but neither backup did anything of note. In fact, Taylor was more productive in Week 1 against the Bears when Jones was in the lineup. Unless Dillon goes down too, Taylor remains off the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Promoted to active roster

    The Packers elevated Taylor to the active roster Saturday.

    Taylor has now been promoted to the active roster in consecutive weeks to kick off the year. He tallied five carries for 22 yards in the team's 38-20 season-opening victory over the Bears as the No. 3 back. If Aaron Jones (hamstring) does not get the green light, Taylor could again see some work in the backfield behind AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson.

  • Patrick Taylor: Returns to practice squad

    Taylor reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

    Taylor was elevated to the active roster to operate as the Packers' third running back in their 38-20 win over the Bears in Week 1, recording five carries for 22 yards while playing seven offensive snaps. If Aaron Jones (hamstring) is unable to play Sunday in Atlanta, it's possible that Taylor is elevated from the practice squad for a second straight week.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Opens as third running back

    Taylor had five carries for 22 yards in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Bears.

    Taylor was beaten out for a spot on Green Bay's 53-man roster by fellow running back Emanuel Wilson, but it appears that had more to do with keeping Wilson off waivers, as Taylor worked as Green Bay's third running back in Week 1 after being elevated from the practice squad. He did not get a carry until the game was well in hand, but he was effective with his opportunities. Starting running back Aaron Jones shined in Sunday's game but injured his hamstring, and Jones' backup, AJ Dillon, struggled to get much going. As such, Taylor -- at least to some degree -- is on the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 clash with the Falcons.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Elevated from practice squad

    The Packers have elevated Taylor to their active roster ahead of Sunday's season-opening game in Chicago.

    Taylor's elevation from the practice squad ahead of Week 1 action means that he will be an option to back up Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon and Emanuel Wilson at running back. While his most likely path to contribution will be via special teams, he could see a few plays in the backfield at any point.

  • Patrick Taylor: Back with practice squad

    Taylor was picked up by the Packers' practice squad Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Taylor was competing for the No. 3 running back role on Green Bay's depth chart during training camp, but the team ended up going with Emanuel Wilson behind staples Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. The 25-year-old has bounced back and forth between the Packers' practice squad and active roster the previous two seasons and it is looking like deja vu heading into his third season.

  • Patrick Taylor: Let go by Green Bay

    The Packers waived Taylor on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

    Taylor was the third running back to enter Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks and ultimately lost out on the No. 3 running back spot to rookie UDFA Emanuel Wilson. Taylor had limited opportunities in 2022, tallying just 10 carries for 31 yards in 14 games while operating behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. He'll look to land elsewhere -- likely on a practice squad -- once he clears waivers.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Effective in final exhibition

    Taylor had six carries for 24 yards and one reception for eight yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.

    Taylor was the third Packers running back to enter Saturday's contest, so it's possible he has fallen behind fellow running back Emanuel Wilson on the depth chart. However, Green Bay may have simply wanted to give Wilson some work with the first team. The two are the frontrunners to be Green Bay's No. 3 running back, though neither is guaranteed a roster spot, as the Packers broke camp with only two active running backs in 2022.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Scores in second preseason game

    Taylor had four carries for 12 yards and a touchdown and one reception for five yards in Saturday's 21-17 preseason loss to the Patriots.

    Taylor was not particularly busy in Saturday's contest, but that's because the Packers have a pretty good feel for what they have in him in his fourth season with the team. He remains the frontrunner for the third running back spot on the depth chart.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: Tallies 11 touches in opener

    Taylor had six carries for 19 yards and five receptions for eight yards in Friday's 36-19 preseason victory over the Bengals.

    Taylor entered Friday's contest third on the depth chart at the running back position, and with Aaron Jones sitting out, Taylor was the second running back into the game behind AJ Dillon. Taylor was busy, racking up 11 touches and -- per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com -- spending eight more snaps on the field than any other Packers running back. Taylor did not do anything spectacular and was outshined by rookie reserve Emanuel Wilson, so his grasp on the third spot may not be as secure as it was. However, the veteran Taylor remains the frontrunner for the job.

  • Packers' Patrick Taylor: 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.

    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.
