The New England Patriots reportedly are signing former Houston Texans defensive end Darrell Taylor to the practice squad.
The report on Wednesday from NFL Network comes two days after Houston waived Taylor and four days before Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game between the Patriots and the visiting Texans.
The Patriots are seeking pass-rush help and there's a 'strong possibility of elevating him' for Sunday's game, per the report.
Taylor, 28, was a second-round pick by Seattle in the 2020 NFL Draft and has 24.5 sacks, 43 quarterback hits, seven forced fumbles and 126 tackles in 69 career games (13 starts) with the Seahawks (2021-23), Chicago Bears (2024) and Texans (2025).
Taylor recorded three tackles in four games with Houston this season. His most recent appearance was in the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos.
