  • Taylor totaled nine tackles (seven solo) against Atlanta in Sunday's 20-17 victory. Taylor tied for second on the Saints in tackles behind Demario Davis, who made 10 stops.

Taylor is having a strong season with 58 tackles (42 solo), including a career-high 4.0 sacks, 10 defensed passes and two forced fumbles through 10 games.

  • Saints' Alontae Taylor: Will play Thursday
    By RotoWire

    Taylor (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough but carries no injury designation into Thursday's game against the Broncos. 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.

  • Taylor (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation. 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.

  • Taylor recorded a career-high three sacks among his six total tackles and also broke up a pass in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers. Heading into Sunday, Taylor had notched just one sack over his first 30 NFL games, but Saints head coach and defensive play caller Dennis Allen dialed up blitzes from the third-year slot corner early and often. Taylor made most of his pass rushes and became the first player designated as a cornerback to record three sacks in a single game, according to Pro-Football-Reference.com. The 25-year-old shouldn't be expected to come close to replicating his Week 1 performance over the rest of the season, but if Allen continues to make a concerted effort to deploy him as a blitzer, Taylor should easily lead all defensive backs in sacks. The Chiefs' Trent McDuffie paced all cornerbacks with three sacks in 2023.

    Taylor (hip) is active for Sunday's contest against the Colts, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Taylor was a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday after popping up on the injury report with a hip injury. He's operated as the nickel cornerback behind starters Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo and will be crucial in limiting the Colts' passing attack in Week 8.
