For three years, Lane Taylor was a critical backup on the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line. Taylor was a starter for three more seasons before suffering back-to-back season-ending injuries and giving way to a younger player.
Now, he is headed out of Green Bay, signing a free agent contract with a team closer to home. Taylor, a native of Arlington, Texas, is returning to his home state on a one-year deal with the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. In doing so, he will rejoin his former offensive line coach in Green Bay, James Campen, who currently holds the same position in Houston.
