Rotowire
Taylor (ankle) will undergo surgery that could keep him sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Per the report, Taylor will be placed on injured reserve after he was carted off the field in Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars. While the 27-year-old will miss a significant portion of the year, it doesn't appear as though he's dealing with a season-ending injury.

Taylor has emerged as a standout among the defensive front through the early portion of training camp, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

Dolphins' Vincent Taylor: Headed to Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins selected Taylor in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 194th overall.
Taylor (6-foot-3, 304 pounds) looks like a very nice pick for Miami here. He totaled 21.5 tackles for loss over the last two years at Oklahoma State, and at the Combine he showed encouraging athletic metrics -- his 5.07-second 40, 108-inch broad jump, and 7.58-second three-cone drill were all good for his size.
