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: Won't suit up vs. 49ers
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Taylor-Demerson didn't practice at all during the week after suffering an ankle injury in Week 10 at Seattle, and he'll have to sit out at least one game as he continues to recover. In his stead, rookie seventh-rounder Kitan Crawford could get additional reps in the secondary in Week 11.

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: Costly turnover after interception
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson logged four solo tackles and two pass defenses, including an interception, during the Cardinals' 22-21 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Taylor-Demerson appeared to help the Cardinals seal the game late in the fourth quarter, when he picked off a Cam Ward pass that was tipped by Mack Wilson. However, Taylor-Demerson wasn't able to keep hold of the ball as he went to the ground, and the ball was batted into the end zone and eventually recovered by Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett to reduce the Cardinals' lead to 21-19 after the extra point. Taylor-Demerson is up to two interceptions along with 23 tackles (17 solo) through five regular-season games.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Strong rookie season in 2024
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson finished the 2024 season with 37 total tackles (23 solo), five passes defensed, and a forced fumble over 17 games.
Taylor-Demerson split time between the defensive unit and special teams in his rookie season, operating as a primary backup option behind Jalen Thompson at strong safety. Taylor-Demerson figures to operate in a similar role with the team in 2025, but he'll likely look to carve out a little more usage on the defensive side of the ball.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Leads team in tackles in loss
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson recorded nine tackles (six solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Seahawks.
The safety also played on 97 percent of the defensive snaps in his second straight start in place of the injured Jalen Thompson (ankle). Thompson did not practice at all in the week leading up to Sunday's game, so his status will again be worth monitoring this week. If he's unable to return for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings, Taylor-Demerson should again stand to benefit.
