According to Aaron Wilson, the Texans signed RB J.J. Taylor to their practice squad on Tuesday.
Houston brought Taylor in for a visit earlier today and was clearly impressed enough to quickly get a deal done.
Houston’s practice squad now includes:
- DE Ali Gaye
- DB Brandon Hill
- WR Johnny Johnson
- TE Dalton Keene
- C Jimmy Morrissey
- DE Adedayo Odeleye (International)
- WR Steven Sims
- LB Garret Wallow
- G Dieter Eiselen
- RB Gerrid Doaks
- WR Jared Wayne
- DE Derek Rivers
- DE Kerry Hyder
- DB Jason Verrett
- DB Alex Austin
- DB D’Angelo Ross
- DB Kris Boyd
- RB J.J. Taylor
Taylor, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Arizona back in 2020. He later signed a rookie contract with the Patriots. New England cut him and re-signed him to the practice squad in November of last year.
He signed a futures deal with the Patriots back in January but was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
In 2022, Taylor has appeared in one game for the Patriots and rushed for nine yards on 10 carries to go along with one reception for eight yards receiving and no touchdowns.
