Running routes for for Garoppolo
Taylor (foot) has been running routes and catching passes from Jimmy Garoppolo during recent workouts, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old missed all of 2019 due to a foot injury but appears fully recovered after undergoing numerous surgeries to address the issue. His quiet 2018 season (26 catches, 215 yards and one touchdown) and the injury bring question to his roster security as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. The 49ers have indicated he's still a part of the team's plans, but he'll likely be competing with Jalen Hurd, Dante Pettis, Richie James and Travis Benjamin for a roster spot.

Still part of team's plans
The 49ers still expect "big things" from Taylor (foot), according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
Analysis: The 2017 fifth-round pick showed promise as a slot specialist his rookie season, but he slipped to 5.2 YPT on 41 targets in 2018 and then missed all of 2019 with a foot injury. He reportedly had five procedures on the impacted foot, with the final one occurring Jan. 2. While the 49ers may still have high hopes for the soon-to-be 26-year-old, he's entering the final season of his rookie contract facing tough competition for playing time. Kendrick Bourne did solid work in the slot last season,…read more

Still sporting walking boot
Taylor (foot) was still spotted with a walking boot Wednesday and doesn't have an official timetable for resuming on-field work, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Taylor has undergone five procedures to address the foot injury that caused him to spend the 2019 season on injured reserve, but he expects to shed his boot soon. While an official timetable for the 25-year-old's return has yet to be revealed, Taylor is hopeful he'll be healthy in time for OTAs in the spring.

Won't return from IR
The 49ers announced Thursday that the team's final designation to return from injured reserve has been used on Kwon Alexander (pectoral), Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The 49ers' first designation to return was spent on Kentavius Street. Taylor, who spent the entire regular season on IR due to offseason foot surgery, will not return for the postseason as a result. He'll likely remain with San Francisco as a depth receiver in 2020 for the final year of his contract.

Unlikely to return from IR
Head coach Kyle Shanahan intimated that Taylor (foot) is not a candidate to return from injured reserve, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: An infection that resulted from August foot surgery has complicated Taylor's timeline to return to the field. There hasn't been any word that the receiver is even close to a return to practice. Thankfully for the 49ers, Emmanuel Sanders is more than capable of filling the void at slot receiver going forward. Meanwhile, the most likely candidates for the 49ers to bring back from IR start with defensive end Kentavius Street and cornerback Jason Verrett.

Suffered setback after surgery
Taylor (foot) dealt with an infection while recovering from August surgery on a Jones fracture, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The setback leaves Taylor uncertain to play this season, though coach Kyle Shanahan didn't rule out the possibility of eventually removing the slot receiver from injured reserve. It isn't clear Taylor would have a significant role in the offense even if he were healthy, so his fantasy value mostly is limited to deeper dynasty leagues.
