Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Will play against Detroit
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson (back) does not have an injury designation against the Lions on Sunday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Taylor-Demerson was a full participant in Friday's practice, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's home contest. He missed the Cardinals' previous two games due to a back injury, and he could start next to Budda Baker at safety due to the absence of Andrew Wingard (knee).

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Has another nice game Sunday
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati.
Taylor-Demerson's 74 defensive snaps were one short of the career-high total he posted in Week 16 versus the Falcons, and his nine tackles also represented the second-best mark of his young career.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Questionable with ankle
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Cardinals' Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Won't suit up vs. 49ers
Rotowire
Taylor-Demerson (ankle) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Taylor-Demerson didn't practice at all during the week after suffering an ankle injury in Week 10 at Seattle, and he'll have to sit out at least one game as he continues to recover. In his stead, rookie seventh-rounder Kitan Crawford could get additional reps in the secondary in Week 11.

Taylor-Demerson will not return to Sunday's game after sustaining an ankle injury in the first half. He's mostly operated on special teams since the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, but his absence means Kitan Crawford will be the lone depth option at safety behind starters Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker.
