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.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Plays five Week 16 snaps
Rotowire
Taylor caught his only target for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Dolphins.
Taylor made a key play on the Packers' touchdown drive right after halftime that tied the contest at 20-20, 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.

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

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Signed to active roster
Rotowire
The Packers signed Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor previously was 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 (Weeks 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 on Monday.

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

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

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

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

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

Green Bay cut Taylor on Wednesday.
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.

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

Patrick Taylor: Waived by Green Bay
Rotowire
The Packers waived Taylor on Tuesday.
After not suiting up for the season opener, Taylor appeared in seven straight games but played primarily on special teams. Him being cut suggests Kylin Hill will be activated from IR ahead of Week 9 to operate as the No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. If Taylor clears waivers, Green Bay will likely re-sign him to a practice-squad deal.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Signs from practice squad

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

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Elevated to active roster
Rotowire
The Packers elevated Taylor from their practice squad Saturday to the active roster for Sunday's contest against the Bears.
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: Signs practice squad deal
Rotowire
The Packers signed Taylor to their practice squad Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
With Kylin Hill (knee) sidelined, Taylor and Tyler Goodson competed during training camp for the No. 3 spot behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Taylor did his best to earn the job, rushing 18 times for 71 yards while catching three passes for 17 yards across three exhibition contests. However, the Packers opted to keep just two running backs on their initial 53-man roster, with the understanding that Amari Rodgers or Randall Cobb could handle emergency RB duties if Jones or Dillon went down with an injury. Regardless, Taylor and Goodson are both candidates to be elevated on a weekly basis now that they are members of the practice squad.

Packers' Patrick Taylor: Jockeying for roster spot
Rotowire
Taylor is battling Tyler Goodson and Dexter Williams for the third running back spot on the Packers' initial 53-man roster, Mike Spofford of Packers.com reports.
Taylor toted eight carries for an unremarkable 27 yards in Green Bay's second preseason matchup versus New Orleans, but his performance in the Packers' upcoming preseason finale at Kansas City could be what ultimately determines his position ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The ability to contribute on special teams will likely be a significant factor in his team's decision after the Pack's abysmal performance in that area in 2021, and Taylor has more recent experience there than Goodson or Williams.

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