Vincent Taylor was carted off of the field at NRG Stadium in Houston on Thursday night with a reported foot injury.
The second-year defensive tackle left during the second quarter of the Dolphins’ road game against the Texans having recorded three total tackles.
This is a blow for Taylor and a thin and injury-riddled Miami defense. After saying good bye to perennial Pro Bowler Ndamukong Suh in the offseason and then cutting former Oklahoma DT Jordan Phillips, Taylor has carved out a significant role in the Dolphins’ defense.
Pro Football Focus ranks the sophomore DT as the 18th best interior lineman in the football.
