The San Francisco 49ers part ways with veteran running back Patrick Taylor Jr., agreeing to an injury settlement, according to an NFL transaction report cited by Yahoo Sports. Multiple outlets report the team removes him from its roster and effectively moves on from the injury-related arrangement.
The New York Post adds detail on the roster mechanics, stating the 49ers also remove Taylor from the injured reserve list and that, because he is on the injured list rather than the active 53-man roster, the move does not count against the team’s required reductions to the 53-man limit. The reports focus on timing ahead of upcoming roster cuts, describing the release as occurring days before the official 53-man roster trimming.
