Taylor announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, NFL.com reports.

The 34-year-old Taylor may have struggled in his final few seasons, but he was the Steelers' top cornerback for the majority of his career. While he was never known for his hands and will retire with just 14 interceptions, Taylor was one of the league's better cover corners during his prime. With Troy Polamalu also retiring this offseason, the Pittsburgh secondary will be much younger in 2015. The Steelers figure to target a cornerback within the first few rounds of the upcoming draft, as their current options are underwhelming.

Taylor (shoulder/forearm) is inactive for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writer Mark Kaboly reports.

Taylor was listed as probable on the injury report, so this would appear to make him a healthy scratch for the most part. His absence won't make Pittsburgh's secondary any worse.

Taylor suffered a broken arm last Sunday, but has remained on the Steelers' roster in hopes of being available some time later this season. According to Taylor, that appears a likely possibility, after the cornerback had two plates and 15 screws inserted in his arm this week. As a result, the veteran anticipates being able to return in six weeks, although it remains to be seen how reliable that self-prognosis actually is. Until Taylor is ready to play, William Gay will serve as the Steelers' starting cornerback opposite Cortez Allen.
