Tyrod Taylor Status

rotoWire
Taylor played in three games during the regular season, completing six of eight pass attempts for 58 yards and a touchdown while throwing one interception. He also rushed five times for 70 yards and lost one fumble.

What it means:

Taylor came into the campaign as a candidate to see a fair amount of work with Daniel Jones having suffered through two straight poor seasons and coming off a neck injury that cut his 2021 campaign short. However, Jones stayed healthy and improved his play significantly under new head coach Brian Daboll, keeping Taylor relegated to a pure backup role. Taylor did look good in the one contest during which he was allowed to let loose, completing all five of his passes for 47 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 40 yards during garbage time of a blowout loss Week 14 against Philadelphia. The veteran is signed with New York through next season, whereas Jones is coming up on free agency, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Giants will look to bring the latter back after their surprising success during the current campaign. Even if Jones doesn't return, it seems likely that New York would look elsewhere for a replacement rather than hand the reigns over to Taylor, who hasn't logged a full season as a starter since he was with Buffalo in 2017.
rotoWire
Taylor completed all five of his pass attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Philadelphia. He also rushed twice for 40 yards, lost a fumble on a sack and completed a two-point conversion.

What it means:

Taylor came on to replace Daniel Jones midway through the fourth quarter with the game out of reach for New York. Taylor's first drive didn't go well, as he was sacked on the second play and coughed up the ball, leading to an Eagles touchdown. However, the backup QB led the Giants to a touchdown on the following drive, finding Richie James from 19 yards out one play after converting a 4th-and-15 with a 32-yard scramble. This was just Taylor's second game appearance of the season, as Jones has been able to maintain his health thus far. Taylor is among the safer backup quarterback options in the league, but Jones has done well enough this season to solidify himself as the starter for a team in the thick of the playoff hunt.
rotoWire
Taylor was a full participant in Thursday's practice after head coach Brian Daboll said the quarterback cleared the concussion protocol, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

What it means:

After suffering the concussion while coming on in relief of a banged-up Daniel Jones in the Giants' Week 4 win over the Bears, Taylor wasn't able to clear the protocol in time to play in last week's victory over the Packers in London. Davis Webb was summoned from the practice squad last week to handle backup duties behind Jones, but Taylor looks like he'll be dressing as the understudy this Sunday against Baltimore.
rotoWire
Taylor (concussion) will be a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

What it means:

Taylor replaced Daniel Jones, who suffered an ankle injury, during the fourth quarter of the team's Week 4 win over the Bears, but the backup quarterback also had to leave the contest due to a concussion. Despite optimism, Taylor remained sidelined for Week 5, but Jones returned and led a comeback win over the Packers. It's encouraging to see Taylor back at practice, albeit in a limited fashion, and he appears on track to reprise his role as the top backup heading into Sunday's match against the Ravens.
rotoWire
Taylor (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

What it means:

Taylor remains in the league's concussion protocol and will be forced to miss at least one game after he sustained his injury in last week's win over the Bears. However, Daniel Jones should be available to start under center, while Davis Webb will likely be elevated to the active roster to serve as a backup quarterback.
rotoWire
Taylor (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

What it means:

Though Taylor has gone down as a non-participant on the Giants' first two Week 5 practice reports and remains in the concussion protocol, the veteran signal-caller seemingly took a step forward Thursday even if his level of activity didn't suggest as much. According to Duggan, Taylor was present for Thursday's practice and was sporting a helmet, and he was later spotted running off to the side. Taylor is seemingly on track to fly with the Giants to London on Friday, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to advance to limit or full activity in the Giants' final Week 5 practice. If Taylor can't clear the protocol before Sunday's game against the Packers, Davis Webb would likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the backup to starter Daniel Jones (ankle), who has been limited in the Giants' first two practices but looks to be trending toward playing.
