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: Good to go Monday
Taylor (abdomen) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game against the Eagles, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Taylor popped up on the injury report Friday as a result of not practicing due to the abdomen issue, but he was a full participant Saturday. As such, he'll be able to suit up Monday. Taylor has played in all 13 games for Seattle so far this season, tallying 20 tackles (12 solo), including 4.5 sacks.

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: Aggravates shin injury
Taylor aggravated a previous injury after getting hit in the shin during Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers, according to coach Pete Carroll, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Taylor's injury was originally deemed a leg injury, but Carroll revealed after the game that it was more specifically a shin injury for the linebacker. Taylor will have an extra day to recover before the Seahawks face the Giants on MNF in Week 4.

Taylor is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers with a leg injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Taylor left the game in the second quarter without recording a stat. Expect linebackers like Derick Hall, Devin Bush and Nick Bellore to see an uptick in production if Taylor is unable to return.

Seahawks' Darrell Taylor: Practices without restrictions
Taylor (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
The linebacker sprained his shoulder in a training camp practice back on Aug. 1 but did not need surgery, and he participated on a limited basis in Seattle's Wednesday session. The 2020 second-round pick started eight games over the past two years and recorded 26 quarterback hits, 16 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss in that span. Now that he's back, Taylor should play a significant role in 2023.

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.
