ENGLEWOOD, Colo. --
But this does not necessarily mean that Taylor's season is over.
In March, the NFL tweaked its rules regarding recallable injured reserve. Teams are still only allowed to recall one player from injured reserve back to their rosters, but they do not have to designate the player in advance, as had been the case in previous years.
Taylor was carted off the practice field Friday after being injured, but was on the sideline watching the on-field work during each of the past two days.
To fill the vacant spot on the 90-man roster, the Broncos signed defensive end Billy Winn, a 6-foot-4, 300-pounder who heads into his fifth NFL season.
