Impresses in Week 11 Taylor recorded eight total tackles (five solo) and two passes defended in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Browns.
Impact The third-year pro from Tennessee has capitalized on increased opportunities since Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) was traded to Washington in early November, recording 17 total tackles and two passes defended in the Saints' last two contests. Taylor now leads New Orleans' defense in passes defended (12) and tackles for loss (seven) through the team's first 11 games. He's expected to continue making plays when the Saints host the Rams in Week 13.

Will play Thursday Taylor (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough but carries no injury designation into Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Taylor injured his shoulder during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers. Even with the Saints on a short week, the injury doesn't appear severe enough for the 2022 second-round pick to carry an injury tag into Thursday's contest. Through the first six games of the regular season, Taylor has logged 35 tackles (26 solo), including 3.5 sacks, five passes defended and two forced fumbles.

Sustains shoulder injury Taylor (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Impact It appears Taylor picked up a shoulder injury in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, despite playing 54 defensive snaps and recording six total tackles and one pass defended. If the third-year cornerback is unable to suit up for Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos, expect rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry to see increased work with the Saints' first-team defense.

Practices in full Thursday Taylor (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Taylor didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, but his return to Thursday's session without limitations indicates he should be good to go for Week 4 against the Falcons. Through three games this season, Taylor has registered 20 tackles (14 solo), including 3.5 sacks, two passes defended and one forced fumble.

Top tackler in win Taylor logged nine total tackles (eight solo), including two tackles for loss, during Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys.
Impact Taylor's impressive start to the 2024 season continued Sunday, as the third-year cornerback has now recorded 15 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended one pass across New Orleans' first two contests. He led the Saints in total tackles in Week 2 and helped New Orleans' defense hold Dallas under 20 points, something that has happened just three times over the Cowboys' last 18 regular-season contests. Expect Taylor to continue being a difference maker on the Saints' defense heading into Week 3's matchup with the Eagles.

Notches three sacks from secondary Taylor recorded a career-high three sacks among his six total tackles and also broke up a pass in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.
Impact Heading into Sunday, Taylor had notched just one sack over his first 30 NFL games, but Saints head coach and defensive play caller Dennis Allen dialed up blitzes from the third-year slot corner early and often. Taylor made most of his pass rushes and became the first player designated as a cornerback to record three sacks in a single game, according to Pro-Football-Reference.com. The 25-year-old shouldn't be expected to come close to replicating his Week 1 performance over the rest of the season, but if Allen continues to make a concerted effort to deploy him as a blitzer, Taylor should easily lead all defensive backs in sacks. The Chiefs' Trent McDuffie paced all cornerbacks with three sacks in 2023.
