Detroit Lions Claim Hilee Taylor, Put Him On Did Not Report List

PrintAccording to Pro Football Talk, the Detroit Lions recently put in a roster claim for defensive end Hilee Taylor. Taylor hit the waiver wire after being let go by the Carolina Panthers last Friday, and the Lions were awarded his contract.
The issue right now is Taylor has failed to report to the Lions. Detroit has in turn put him on the reserve/did not report list, which means he doesn't count against the 90-man roster.
Taylor was originally selected by the Panthers in the seventh-round of the 2008 NFL Draft after playing for North Carolina in college. He made the 53-man roster and appeared in 10 games in 2008 and six games in 2009. He didn't put up any significant stats, though. Last year he didn't have any stats because he missed the year with a knee injury.
For the time being the Lions have Taylor's rights. If he reports at some point, he will likely compete for the final spot at defensive end with Willie Young since Turk McBride is now with the Saints.

Yeah, I was trying to keep it simple
But I assume that even for just a couple of days you wont go home broke

ummm....why?
there really isn’t one shining spot of brightness about this guys skills that would make anyone say “wow, we need to sign this guy”..I don’t get it…this guy doesn’t deserve his own article haha
likely he is just a cam body... just like in a normal camp year....
…you would get a extra running back to beat down while the defence practices run defence. I am sure his utility is along those lines.. a camp body
i am thinking he is just a guy they want for when we go full pads and they wanna check out Fox or Culbreath...
… let them battle it out since we already know what we have in KVB..Lo Jack….. Willie can’t do all the work with Avril out. .. these tackles need a body to spar with
if they are taking guys like that
Sign me up. Clearly they just want warm bodies.

I Got a receiver body. 6'2 180
They can give me a shot. LOL. I ran 40 in about 4.70 last time I ran it. Maybe I can crank out a 4.6

Very good point!
That might be why we signed him. That would explain why he didn’t come in. Or he could be hurt and no one knows.

Now that would be a restaurant I would travel to eat at.
You come up with the location for that kind of place and you would have standing room only everyday of the year. . .And 1 serious case of lock jaw for the waitress’s.

I'm serious about that Det32. .
Hooters wings aint got nothing on our daily specials.
How many lumps you want Doc?

and as far as num nut not showing up he can fall in a hole
much rather some one that shows up even if he is less talented
not to mentchen knows our playbook allredey
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
So 32
You were so screaming about LB’rs pre-draft. What do you think about our situation now? I know I get an “I told you so” in on you about wait till FA, but i want your opinion on the group as it stands today. Not just starters either.
How many lumps you want Doc?
we still need a soild back up.. i am fine with carp there...
why or starting core has improved greatly we still not where i wan them to be.. my main problem is levy now.. and st is a bit overrated imo.. but at least our LBs are respectable now not dead last and worse then some cfl teams like last year
we need to keep looking for imprvemnts but this crew should be fine for a year or so
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
you dont think Levy will be better out on the weak side?
He wont have to worry so much about not being able to get off a block and his speed is good out to the flat or back to the qb. At mike he was jammed too much. Will suits his skill set much better, I think.

its his reaton time.. i dont see that inproving with the move..
donno if he is over thinking or what but he just stands there some times its annoing as hell
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
Im attributing that to him deciding if his leg was good to go
Cause as a rook he was real good about getting after the ball. I didnt see him get tentative till he got hurt. In the Miami game he started to react more like he did as a rookie, I thought. But we’ll see soon

DET...give Levy a break.
He was injured the first 10 games. He tweeted that today.
.Does your momma have a Big Ass like your head?
what surprises me is when did Det32 become our go to LB guru
did he want Curry over Stafford? i cant remember ???
Matthew Stafford, Quarterback: a man barely alive, Gentlemen we can rebuild him, We have the technology, We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic QB, Matthew Stafford will be that man, Better than he was before
Better, Stronger, Faster
He's like a misspelling spoiled little biatch because he didn't get Ayers.
.Does your momma have a Big Ass like your head?
Good to hear your feel better about our LBs.

Yeah 32.
I’ve been wondering the same from you. We are looking a helluva lot better now. Those draft time worries should be gone by now. What’s up?

he gets it out qucik dude and has a top 3 RB..
then we have rogers and JF.. yea……
RIP KURTIS CHAIVRE
see what I started. I wasn't messin with ya cause I was curious.
I think at least 1 of these 3 are going to be PB bound this year. The free running that they are going to do is just going to be sick. I want to say Tulloch but Levy could just explode from the OLB and have some crazy ass Mathews shit for stats. If he’s coming on the blitz and gets a read on the snap count hows a O-lineman going to cover him when Will and KVB are in front of him. . .Durant maybe in the same shape if Avril does sign. . .Which side does Gunny bring the heat with. I know you want that SLB and WSB but in this system it’s left and right not Week side and Strong side.
