Sewell likely will replace injured Pete Werner (oblique) on Sunday, which is expected to be his first career start, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old linebacker has appeared in 15 games over the course of his NFL career, logging six total tackles (all coming in 2023). Sewell has primarily been a special-teamer for New Orleans, playing only eight total defense snaps over the last two seasons. He'll have big shoes to fill in Week 13, as Werner ranks second on the Saints in total stops on the year (67).
