Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Still working through ankle injury
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Taylor-Demerson was unable to play in the Cardinals' Week 11 loss to the 49ers due to an ankle injury he sustained against the Seahawks in Week 10. He hasn't been cleared to practice since the injury, and he'll have two more days to participate in practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. Kitan Crawford will continue to serve in a rotational role at safety behind Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson for as long as Taylor-Demerson is sidelined.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Misses Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Taylor-Demerson has opened Week 11 prep with back-to-back DNPs due to an ankle injury that he sustained during the Cardinals' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. He would need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday in order to have a chance at playing against the 49ers on Sunday. Kitan Crawford would serve as the primary backup at safety behind Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker if Taylor-Demerson is not cleared to play.
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Taylor-Demerson will not return to Sunday's game after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half. He's mostly operated on special teams since the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, but his absence means Kitan Crawford will be the lone depth option at safety behind starters Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Strong rookie season in 2024
