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.

Taylor-Demerson (back) was listed as a full practice participant on Friday's injury report and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

In Week 10, Taylor-Demerson played every defensive snap and tallied six tackles (five solo) and two pass defenses.
