The San Francisco 49ers were hoping to get Jullian Taylor back to help boost the injury-depleted depth along the defensive line. That may not happen now.
The defensive tackle showed up on Thursday's practice participation report with a new injury listed in addition to the elbow injury suffered during Week 13.
Apparently, Taylor suffered a knee injury during Thursday's practice, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. And the injury is significant enough that the defensive lineman is undergoing an MRI to determine the extent of the damage.
Barrows also reports that the 49ers are calling free agent defensive linemen who might be able to sign and contribute.
Taylor has been inactive the last three games and first returned to practice on Tuesday but with a brace over the elbow which suffered "ligament issues" during that Week 13 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
The list of 49ers defensive linemen on injured reserve includes Ronald Blair, D.J. Jones, and Damontre Moore. Pass rusher Dee Ford (hamstring) is not expected to return until the playoffs.

With the offensive line as a prime target for improvement and the position going mostly ignored in free agency, a strategic trade-up to acquire an impact player could be in the cards.
Alyssa Barbieri proposes such a scenario in her latest mock draft for USA Today's Touchdown Wire. Barbieri envisions the 49ers trading with the Miami Dolphins to move up 10 spots, selecting former Alabama offensive lineman JC Latham.

Trent Taylor snatches up 49ers star receiver's old number
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
