Logs career highs in 2024 Taylor totaled 89 tackles (61 solo), including four sacks, and 16 pass breakups across 17 regular-season appearances with the Saints in 2024.

Impact Taylor's production continued to ascend during his third season with the Saints, as he tallied career highs in tackles, sacks and passes defended. The 2022 second-round pick also finished third on the team in tackles behind linebackers Demario Davis (136) and Pete Werner (92). Taylor's emergence as one of the best up-and-coming players on the Saints' defense should set him up for a prominent role in 2025, which will also be the final season of his rookie contract.

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.
