The Facts: Taylor (back) has been placed on the 49ers' active/PUP list.
Diehards Line:Per GM John Lynch, it shouldn't be long before Taylor is good to go, with the receiver needing to get up to speed with his conditioning after undergoing a minor back procedure this offseason. As CBSSports.com notes, Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin profile as the 49ers' top wideouts, but Taylor figures to have a solid shot to lock down a role out of the slot after catching 43 passes for 430 yards and two TDs in 14 games as a rookie last season. Taylor will need a quick return to help him fend off the challenge presented by second-round rookie Dante Pettis.
