In a week when Fred Taylor was back in the news, his son joined him in print, in an unfortunate way.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the 49ers waived srookie running back Kelvin Taylor, the son of the longtime Jaguars running back.

The sixth-rounder from Florida could still return to the team’s practice squad.

We hadn’t heard much from either him or his father, until dad spoke up about the many injuries he suffered during his career which were “overlooked” by team doctors.
