  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Running it back in Seattle

    The Seahawks re-signed Taylor on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Taylor is coming off an underwhelming season as a pass rusher in 2023, when he posted a career-low 5.5 sacks. He'll hope to record his first double-digit sack season in his fourth year in the league.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Contributes 5.5 sacks in 2023

    Taylor posted 28 tackles (17 solo) and 5.5 sacks across 17 games during the 2023 season. Taylor averaged 29.1 defensive snaps per game, which is on par with his usage through his first two full NFL seasons. He took a step back compared to last season's 9.5 sacks, but second-year linebacker Boye Mafe took a big leap forward with 9.0 sacks this year. Mafe's emergence along with Uchenna Nwosu's (pectoral) 2022 breakout could make the Seahawks feel comfortable letting Taylor walk in free agency this March, but this defense struggled to consistently pressure the passer in 2023, so it will likely try to retain the Tennessee product.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Added to injury report Friday

    Taylor did not practice Friday due to an injury to his abdomen, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Taylor practiced in full Thursday but appears to have picked up an abdominal injury, causing him to miss practice Friday. His status for Monday's contest against the Eagles is thus in doubt. Taylor hasn't missed any games so far this season, tallying 20 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks, over 13 contests.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Back at practice

    Taylor was a full participant at Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Taylor was a non-participant at Thursday's practice after aggravating a shin injury in last week's win over the Panthers. However, his full workload Friday indicates he has moved on from the issue. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at linebacker, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Filling in Sunday

    Taylor is projected to start in place of injured Boye Mafe (knee) ahead of Sunday's game against Detroit, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. The 26-year-old is in line to make his first start of the year against a tough Lions offense. Taylor has appeared in 33 games throughout his three-year career in Seattle, making eight starts and recording 64 tackles, 16 sacks and five forced fumbles.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Sprains shoulder

    Taylor has a sprained left shoulder, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Taylor suffered the injury at Tuesday's practice, but it will not requre surgery according to Bridget Condon of NFL Network. Still, he is currently without a timetable for return, but expect the Seahawks to err on the side of caution with their starting weak-side linebacker.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Heats up to finish 2022 season

    Taylor posted 26 tackles (22 solo), 9.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and a pass breakup over 16 regular-season games in the 2022 season. Taylor piled up three sacks through the first 10 games, but he stacked up 6.5 sacks over the final six contests. The 2020 second-round pick has averaged 30 defensive tackles over the past two seasons, and he has totaled 16 sacks in that stretch. Taylor doesn't rack up tackles, but he has IDP value in deeper leagues because of his pass-rushing skills.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Sustains neck injury Saturday

    Taylor suffered a neck stinger during Saturday's wild-card game at San Francisco. Midway through the second quarter, Taylor was slow to get up and walked with Seahawks trainers to the sideline, where he visited the blue tent before getting diagnosed with an injury. If Taylor is unable to return, the team will be left with Uchenna Nwosu, Boye Mafe and Bruce Irvin at outside linebacker.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Returns to full practice

    Taylor (groin) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Taylor missed a Week 9 win over Arizona due to a groin issue, but he's off to a good start this week with the full practice session Wednesday. The 2020 second-round draft pick has picked up three sacks and three forced fumbles through eight games this season, so his probable return would be a significant boost against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in Week 10.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Impresses as pass rusher

    Taylor posted 37 tackles (28 solo), 6.5 sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble across 16 games during the 2021 season. Taylor missed his entire rookie season, and he handled a situational role in 2021. He averaged 32 defensive snaps per game, tying Rasheem Green for second on the team in sacks. Taylor may need to take on a larger role in 2022 if Green leaves in free agency, but we should expect the 2020 second-round pick to be a fixture on passing downs regardless.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: On track to play Monday

    Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that he expects Taylor (neck) to play Monday against the Saints, Brent Stecker of ESPN Seattle reports. Taylor had to be carted off the field during Week 6, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and may not miss any games. The 24-year-old was sidelined for all of his rookie season while he was recovering from leg surgery, but he's been dominant this year, leading the Seahawks with four sacks and six QB hits through the first six games of the 2021 campaign.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: May not miss time

    Taylor had an MRI on his shoulder come back clean and may be available for Week 7, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. The 24-year-old was initially believed to be dealing with a neck injury after being carted off during Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh, so it's good news he's instead managing a shoulder issue. Taylor will have one extra day to get ready for Monday's matchup with the Saints.

  • Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: No timetable for return

    Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he's unsure when Taylor (leg) will be able to resume practicing, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. The rookie second-round pick continues to rehab from January leg surgery, the severity of which kept him from practicing at all in training camp and led to his placement on the reserve/non-football injury list list to kick off the season. Taylor won't be eligible for activation until November, but at that point he could be available to bolster Seattle's pass rush.
