Taylor

Taylor was a special teams mainstay for the Packers from 2011-13, but bounced around between three teams last season. Getting waived at this stage of the offseason is never a good sign for a veteran. Taylor will try to latch on elsewhere as a core special teamer.

A special teams standout, Taylor will compete for a roster spot behind Travis Kelce, Demetrius Harris, and fifth-rounder James O’Shaughnessy.

The concussion Cameron sustained on Sunday is his third since the 2012 season. His first one caused him to miss two games and the one he sustained last year kept him out of one game. Of course, the more concussions a player suffers, the tougher it can be for him to get cleared. Cameron owners need to be making other plans right now.

TE Phillip Supernaw was waived in a corresponding roster move. A longtime reserve and special teamer for the Packers, Taylor won’t contribute as a pass catcher, but could stick with the Ravens through the end of the season.

The 2011 seventh-rounder wasn’t playing on offense this season despite the Packers’ lack of depth at tight end. Going on 27, Taylor has eight catches across 50 career games. He’s primarily a special teamer.

Coach Mike McCarthy says Taylor will miss no more than a couple of weeks and should be on the front end of the recovery timetable. Taylor has played 57 snaps on offense this season but is mainly used on special teams.

A longtime Packer, Taylor appeared in 13 games between Green Bay, Baltimore and Cleveland last season. He’ll try to crack the Dolphins’ 53-man roster as a core special teamer.

Taylor’s energy and willingness to throw his body around are making an impression at Packers camp. He’s being used on the kick, punt and kick-return teams while also settling in as the No. 4 or 5 tight end. Taylor has the look of a glue guy.

Taylor played fullback and H-back in UNC’s pro-style offense, and in 2010 had 36 receptions with a 9.2 per-catch average. He also made nine tackles on defense as a linebacker. Ultimately, Taylor will settle in as a gung-ho special teamer in the pros. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound prospect was North Carolina’s special teams captain in 2008 and 2010, and would’ve been in 2009 had he not missed all of that season with a knee injury.
