Packers who’ve gone missing at training camp: Patrick Taylor

Patrick Taylor has struggled with injuries throughout training camp, limiting his availability in practices and games. That’s given BJ Baylor and Tyler Goodson plenty of opportunities to prove they should earn the third running back position until Kylin Hill returns. Goodson, especially, has stepped up and capitalized on Taylor’s absence.

Even when Taylor has been on the field he’s been unable to separate himself from his peers. He lacks the same explosiveness someone like Goodson has. His bread and butter is as a pass protector–a skill the Packers value highly. He needs to make some plays with the ball in his hands, however, if he wants to earn a spot on the initial 53-man roster.
