Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Won't play in Week 3
Taylor-Demerson (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Taylor-Demerson didn't practice Wednesday but was limited Thursday, indicating he was making progress toward being available in Week 3. However, he took a step backward by not practicing again Friday, resulting in his second absence of the 2026 campaign. Without Taylor-Demerson in the mix Sunday, Wydett Williams may need to be more involved.

Taylor-Demerson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Taylor-Demerson missed Wednesday's practice due to a back injury he likely picked up in the Cardinals' Week 2 loss to the Seahawks. His ability to return to practice Thursday is a positive sign in his injury progression, and Friday's injury report will provide more clarity on Taylor-Demerson's status heading into Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Misses practice Wednesday
Taylor-Demerson (back) did not participate at the Cardinals' practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor-Demerson is dealing with an apparent back injury after he played two defensive snaps and 15 snaps on special-teams during the team's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks in Week 2. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Questionable for Week 2 vs. Seattle
Taylor-Demerson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Taylor-Demerson did not play in the Cardinals' Week 1 win over the Chargers due to a rib injury, which he suffered during a preseason game in late August. The injury limited his practice participation in all three sessions this past week, and his status for Sunday's NFC West tilt may not be known until the Cardinals announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Picks off two passes in 2025
Taylor-Demerson compiled 59 tackles and six pass defenses, including two interceptions, over 12 regular-season games in 2025.
Taylor-Demerson sat out Weeks 11-15 due to an ankle injury, but he otherwise served as the Cardinals' third safety behind Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Taylor-Demerson surpassed his rookie tackle tally by 18 and also recorded the first two picks of his career. Considering that Thompson's contract voids on Feb. 15, Taylor-Demerson could be poised for a starting gig in 2026.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Has another nice game Sunday
Taylor-Demerson recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati.
Taylor-Demerson's 74 defensive snaps were one short of the career-high total he posted in Week 16 versus the Falcons, and his nine tackles also represented the second-best mark of his young career. If Budda Baker (concussion) is out again in Week 18, Taylor-Demerson would profile as a good IDP option in most formats.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Logs career-high tackle total Sunday
Taylor-Demerson recorded 11 tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Falcons.
Taylor-Demerson missed Arizona's previous five games due to an ankle injury but was able to return to action Sunday. With Jalen Thompson (hamstring) sidelined, Taylor-Demerson took on a starting role and co-led the team with a career-best 11 stops. If Thompson sits out again Week 17 versus Cincinnati, Taylor-Demerson figures to start again.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Returning to action Week 16
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) is active for Sunday's clash against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Questionable with ankle
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Taylor-Demerson has been sidelined since he suffered an ankle injury in Week 10 against the Seahawks. The strong safety was able to log his first practices since sustaining the injury this week, stringing three consecutive limited sessions together. If the 2024 fourth-rounder can suit up, he will provide meaningful defensive back depth to a corps that has sustained quite a few injuries.
