Impact 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.

Misses Thursday's practice Taylor-Demerson (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to begin week Taylor-Demerson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Taylor-Demerson played a season-low 27 snaps (46 percent), so this issue may have popped up in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

Strong rookie season in 2024 Taylor-Demerson finished the 2024 season with 37 total tackles (23 solo), five passes defensed, and a forced fumble over 17 games.

Impact 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.

Leads team in tackles in win Taylor-Demerson recorded nine tackles (six solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact 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 next Sunday's matchup with the Vikings, Taylor-Demerson should again stand to benefit.
