Dolphins LB Taylor returns after injuring shoulder

MIAMI — Miami Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor left Monday night’s game against the New York Jets with a right shoulder injury but returned later in the fourth quarter.

Taylor walked to the locker room in the final quarter holding his hands and grimacing. The 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year had fallen awkwardly after trying to sack Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.

The team said he had a right shoulder injury and his return was questionable. Taylor returned to the sideline and received treatment before going back in the game.
