Saints' Alontae Taylor: Logs strong 2025 campaign
Taylor tallied 83 tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and 11 passes defended with two interceptions across 17 appearances in 2025.
Taylor posted slightly lower production following his career-best 2024 campaign. He still finished with 75 or more tackles for the third straight season, and he has recorded double-digit passes defended in all four seasons of his career. The 2022 second-rounder has had a strong start to his career, which should set him up for a solid payday this offseason.

Saints' Alontae Taylor: Cleared to play Week 9
Taylor (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Taylor was limited in practice all week due to a shoulder issue, but the 2022 second-rounder has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has 36 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass defenses through the first eight games of the regular season.

Saints' Alontae Taylor: Questionable for Sunday
Taylor (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor was a limited practice participant all week due to a shoulder injury likely sustained in the Week 8 loss to the Buccaneers. The Tennessee product has impressed through eight appearances this season, recording 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and four passes defended. If he misses his first game of the season in Week 9, expect Michael Davis to have an expanded role as a boundary corner.

Saints' Alontae Taylor: Nursing shoulder issue
Taylor (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Saints' Alontae Taylor: Practices in full
Taylor (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
The cornerback was limited during Wednesday's session. Taylor played on 61 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to New England, so his return to practice should indicate that his knee issue is minor. The fourth-year pro has 27 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups in 2025.

Saints' Alontae Taylor: Nursing knee issue
Taylor (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Taylor was on the field as much as any New Orleans cornerback in Week 6 versus the Patriots, so it's not obvious when he suffered the knee injury. He'll have two more chances to practice in full before the Saints publish their final practice report of the week Friday.

Saints' Alontae Taylor: Gets to QB in Week 1
Taylor recording two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Taylor's sack of Kyler Murray came late in the fourth quarter and forced a Cardinals punt that allowed the Saints a final drive to try to come back from a six-point deficit. The 2022 second-round draft pick posted a career-high 4.0 sacks last season, and he's off to a strong start in that category in 2025. However, Taylor logged a modest 55 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps Sunday. That may have been due to the groin injury he dealt with during the week leading up to the contest.
