Impact 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 this season. Considering Thompson's contract voids on Feb. 15, Taylor-Demerson could be poised for a starting gig in 2026 if Arizona opts to move on from the former.
