However, Taylor has been adamant about the fact that he is determined to return to the team this season.
According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, Taylor’s return could come sooner than anyone would have imagined.
Glazer reports that Taylor had two plates and fifteen screws placed in his arm during surgery to repair the broken arm, and the veteran defensive back is aiming to return to the field in just six weeks.
