Taylor did not participate in full practice sessions this week and will head into the game with the doubtful tag. Expect Tarheeb Still, Tony Jefferson and Deane Leonard to vie for his spot on the secondary and special teams.
J.K. Dobbins' injury update
According to Rotowire, J.K. Dobbins is questionable to play. He is dealing with a lingering ankle injury.
The veteran running back has enjoyed a great first season with the Chargers under Jim Harbaugh's guidance. However, he dealt with injuries in the second half of the regular season. Expect Gus Edwards to have a fair share of snaps in the wild-card round game as Harbaugh will likely utilize his run game more.
Quentin Johnston's injury update
Quentin Johnston enters the wild-card round with a questionable tag. The wide receiver is dealing with a thigh injury and an undisclosed illness.
Johnston was the LA Chargers' WR2 for most of the regular season and he'll be a key target for Justin Herbert in the playoffs. If Johnston is unable to feature, expect Derius Davis and DJ Chark to step up.
