Bills DT Vincent Taylor removed from Reserve/ COVID-19 list

August 5, 2020 by Bills Wire Leave a Comment

The total number of Buffalo Bills players on the NFL’s Reserve/ COVID-19 list has started to drop on Tuesday. Defensive tackle Vincent Taylor was activated from that designation, the team announced.

Keeping Taylor on their roster took a turn toward importance recently, also due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Last week, starting defensive tackle Star Lotulelei opted out. He won’t be playing in 2020. Because of this, there’s an opportunity there for Taylor to move up the depth chart, along with the likes of Harrison Phillips and Vernon Butler.

Taylor was one of five Bills players to have been slapped with the COVID-19 designation. The others were wide receiver Duke Williams, defensive back Siran Neal and rookie cornerbacks Dane Jackson and Ike Brown.

Landing on this list means each player either tested positive for coronavirus, or were in close contact with someone else, such as a family member, who did. To be removed from the list, players have to quarantine and register multiple negative tests for COVID-19.

In a corresponding move, the Bills released linebacker Mike Bell. After going undrafted in 2018, Bell took a year off of football and was attempting to make the move from safety to linebacker with the Bills this offseason.
