Not playing Sunday
Taylor (groin) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Jaguars, Erin Summers of the Saints' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has been dealing with a groin injury this past week and won't suit up for Sunday's contest. His absence opens the door for Rico Payton, Isaac Yiadom and Quincy Riley to see snaps with the first-team defense at outside corner opposite Kool-Aid McKinstry. Taylor's last chance to see preseason action is Saturday against Denver.

2022
Taylor totaled career highs across the board last season with 75 tackles, 14 passes defended and two interceptions. The 2022 second-round pick formed the Saints' top cornerback duo alongside Paulson Adebo while Marshon Lattimore was sidelined for much of the season. Lattimore still is the team's clear top cornerback when he's healthy, and Adebo entered the 2023 campaign as the team's other outside cornerback. Therefore, it's likely that Taylor and rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry will compete for the starting nickel role.
