Has reduced role in Week 7 loss
Werner logged two assisted tackles Sunday in a loss to Chicago.
Analysis: It was a quiet game from a statistical perspective for Werner, who recorded his lowest tackle tally of the campaign. The veteran linebacker also continued to see his playing time decrease -- he logged a season-low 53 percent defensive snap share. Meanwhile, rookie Danny Stutsman was productive with a 24 percent snap share and could be pushing Werner for playing time.

Questionable for Week 18 finale
Werner (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Werner was concussed in last Sunday's loss to the Raiders and remains in the league's protocol. Clearing protocol in one week's time isn't typical anymore in the NFL, so he should be considered genuinely questionable for the Saints' Week 18 season finale. Through 13 games this season, Werner has logged 92 tackles (54 solo) and one pass breakup.

Returns to practice Thursday
Werner (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Werner entered concussion protocols following the Saints' 25-10 loss to the Raiders this past Sunday.

Analysis: Werner had a team-high 13 tackles (seven solo) during the Saints' Week 17 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: Werner tallied eight-plus tackles for the third time in his last five games in Week 13.

He'll miss his third straight game Thursday, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 against the Chargers on Oct. 27.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Werner (hamstring) was listed on the Saints' injury report Saturday, and he is questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The injury is recent, as Werner was not listed on the Saints' first two injury reports of the week. He's been officially listed as questionable ahead of Monday's contest, but given that it's a new injury so close to the game, his status may not be known until the inactive lists are released approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15pm ET kickoff.

Limited in practice Tuesday
Werner (shoulder) worked on the sidelines with a trainer during Tuesday's practice session, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Werner sustained a shoulder injury in early August, which caused him to sit out of Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals.

Analysis: The severity of Werner's injury isn't clear. The linebacker is coming off a 2023 campaign during which he logged a career-high 93 tackles (60 solo), and he's slated to reprise a starting role in the coming season after logging at least 70 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps in all but two of his 16 regular-season contests last season.

Logs solid 2023 campaign
Werner finished the 2023 season with 93 tackles and one interception across 16 appearances.
Analysis: Werner logged career highs across the board, including 16 starts at inside linebacker alongside 12-year veteran Demario Davis. The 2021 second-round pick also played 306 more defensive snaps than last season, though he only finished with 13 more tackles. With Davis currently set to become a free agent this offseason, it's possible that Werner could see his production rise once again entering the final season of his four-year, $5.68 million contract.

Werner (oblique) is active for Sunday's contest against Carolina.
Analysis: Werner missed last Sunday's game versus Detroit due to an oblique injury, but his absence will last only one week as he's set to return to face the Panthers. The third-year linebacker has played a near every-down role for the Saints when healthy, accumulating 67 tackles (43 solo), including half a sack, along with an interception on the season.

If the second-year pro is ultimately unable to give it a go Saturday against the Browns, then New Orleans could revert back to rotating between more defensive linemen to fill Werner's vacated spot.

Cleared for Week 15
Werner (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Werner, who's missed four straight contests due to an ankle injury, was listed as questionable but will ultimately suit up Sunday. Before his injury, Werner totaled 71 tackles, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles while playing at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the Saints' first eight games. The second-year linebacker's availability will likely mean less snaps for Kaden Elliss, but Werner may be limited during his return from a lengthy absence.

Iffy for Week 15
Werner (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Werner has missed four consecutive contests due to an ankle injury and is in jeopardy of missing a fifth after logging three straight limited practices following the team's Week 14 bye. Kaden Elliss has stepped up as a starter in Werner's absence, totaling 40 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defense over the Saints' past four games.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Werner (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Atlanta, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Werner has sat out New Orleans' last four games, and he still apparently isn't fully healthy coming off of a Week 14 bye. If the 2021 second-rounder is again out for Week 15, Kaden Elliss would probably continue to see an expanded role at linebacker.

Sitting Monday
Werner (ankle) is inactive Monday against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Werner will be forced to watch from the sideline again, as he has since getting injured Week 9 against the Ravens. His absence will certainly leave a big void in the Saints' linebacker corps, and Zack Baun should continue to see increased opportunity in Werner's absence.

Considered questionable
Werner (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Werner has missed each of the Saints' last two games, but he managed a pair of limited practices ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers. He could be set for a return as a result, which would provide a boost to the defense. Through nine games this season, Werner has recorded 74 total tackles with two forced fumbles.

Returns to practice Thursday
Werner (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Saints' injury report Thursday.
Analysis: Werner has not been able to play or practice since suffering an ankle injury against the Ravens in Week 9. However, the off-ball linebacker appears to be trending towards a return after managing to log a limited session for the first time Thursday, and he'll have two more practices to increase his activity before Monday's game against Tampa Bay. Werner recorded 74 tackles and three passes defended while playing almost every defensive when healthy this season, though he could stand to split reps…read more

Remaining out Week 12
Werner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Werner will miss his third straight contest after being carted off with an ankle injury during the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Ravens. The 24-year-old's next opportunity to play will come against the Buccaneers on Monday, Dec. 5. With Werner sidelined over this span, Kaden Elliss has gained a prolific role alongside linebacker Demario Davis, and he should be set to start once again Week 12.

Unable to practice Wednesday
Werner (ankle) did not participate in New Orleans' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Werner injured his ankle against the Ravens on Monday Night Football in Week 9 and missed the Saints' subsequent two contests. His inability to practice Wednesday does not bode well for his return this Sunday in San Francisco, though he'll have two more days this week to try to get back on the field. If he's absent again Week 12, Kaden Elliss would likely again be in line for a near every-down role.

Analysis: Werner was carted to the locker room with an ankle injury against the Ravens in Week 9, leaving him sidelined for the first time this season during last week's loss to the Steelers. The linebacker has now been ruled out for the second straight game after failing to participate in practice ahead of Sunday's contest.

Werner (ankle) did not participate in the Saints' practice Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Werner was carted off the field with an ankle injury during New Orleans' Week 9 loss to the Ravens and remained sidelined against the Steelers this past Sunday. While it appears this issue hasn't improved much given the linebackers' inability to participate during the team's first practice Week 11, the linebacker will still have two more days to improve his status ahead of Friday's final injury report.

Listed as DNP on Wednesday
Werner (ankle) is listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Werner suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of Monday's loss to the Ravens and had to be carted to the locker room. Though his absence Wednesday is an estimation (the team didn't practice), it nonetheless puts his availability for Sunday's Week 10 clash in Pittsburgh in doubt. Should Werner miss that contest, Kaden Elliss and Zack Baun could both see more snaps.

Analysis: Werner logged three tackles before exiting early in the second half. The inside linebacker also visited New Orleans' medical tent before being carted to the locker room, according to John Hendrix of SI.com, leaving his return in serious doubt.

Leading tackler again Sunday
Werner recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 24-0 win against the Raiders.
Analysis: Werner logged his third double-digit tackle outing of the season and played all but one of the Saints' defensive snaps Week 8. The second-year linebacker has quickly emerged as one of the NFL's top tacklers after stepping into a starting role this season, and he now sits at 71 stops (52 solo), three passes defended and two forced fumbles over eight games in 2022. Werner should be in line for another productive outing during next Monday's game against the Ravens.

Six stops in Week 6
Werner recorded six tackles during Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Werner played 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps Sunday en route to a six-tackle performance. The second-year linebacker currently leads the Saints with 53 tackles through the first six weeks of the season, and he'll likely have another busy night Thursday in Arizona.

Forces crucial fumble Sunday
Werner recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Werner stripped DK Metcalf on the first play of the third quarter, which served as the Saints' lone takeaway in Week 5. The second-year linebacker played 88 percent of the team's defensive snaps Sunday, and he now has 47 tackles and two forced fumbles through five contests. Werner will look to build off this strong performance when the team hosts Cincinnati on Sunday.

Effective against Minnesota
Werner generated nine tackles (eight solo) during the Saints' 28-25 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Although Werner fell just short of recording double-digit tackles for a second consecutive week, he remained consistent during the Saints' game in London. The 2021 second-rounder racked up 62 tackles last year and already has 40 tackles (32 solo), a pass defense and a forced fumble over the first four games of the 2022 campaign.

Werner tallied 11 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 22-14 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Werner led the Saints in combined and solo tackles after playing all but two of the team's defensive snaps in Week 3. After shifting into a full-time starting role, the second-year linebacker currently leads New Orleans in combined (32) and solo (24) tackles through three games. Werner is on track to finish as the team's leading tackler and one of the league's most productive defenders in 2022, barring any injuries.

Gives steady performance
Werner contributed eight tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed in the Saints' 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Werner delivered another solid performance coming off his 13-tackle Week 1 effort. His 18 solo tackles now lead the league. The second-year pro moved into a full-time starting role this season and is proving to be deserving of the promotion early on. If he is able to continue putting up these types of numbers, he should be on the IDP radar of fantasy managers.

Leading tackler in Week 1 win
Werner had 13 tackles (12 solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Werner was limited during the week due to a groin injury, but he didn't look affected by it whatsoever in the season opener while leading the Saints in tackles. The 2021 second-round pick had 62 tackles as a rookie, but Werner's expected to blow past that mark as a full-time starter in his second season.

Analysis: Werner started training camp on the NFI list due to an undisclosed injury but was activated August 1 and returned to practice. However, per Underhill's report, it sounds like Werner has suffered a setback and may be sidelined again.

Analysis: The exact nature of Werner's health status is unclear, but he is still eligible to practice and play at any point in the preseason. The second-round pick totaled 62 tackles over 15 games with eight starts during his 2021 rookie campaign.

Makes six stops vs. Seahawks
Werner had six tackles (five solo) during Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Werner had his lowest tackle total as a starter versus Seattle, and he wasn't involved elsewhere on the stat sheet. Still, the rookie second-round pick did log two straight games with double-digit stops prior to Monday's showing, so he remains worthy of IDP fantasy consideration ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

Werner notched 13 tackles (eight solo) during New Orleans' win over Washington in Week 5.
Analysis: Werner has 23 tackles over his last two contests, and he played a season-high 99 percent of defensive snaps versus the Football Team. As long as Kwon Alexander (elbow) remains sidelined, Werner will remain in the mix as a potential IDP starter. After a Week 6 bye, the Saints will take on the Seahawks on Oct. 25.

Werner managed 10 tackles (six solo) during the Saints' loss to the Giants in Week 4.
Analysis: Werner put together his best tackling day of his young career during last weekend's loss, in which he handled 63 percent of defensive snaps.
