Werner registered 13 tackles (seven solo) and recovered a fumble Sunday in a loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Werner and Demario Davis combined for 24 stops in the defeat while no other Saints player had more than five tackles. Werner has yet to reach triple-digit single-season stops in his career, but he's on pace to get there through three games with 27 total tackles.

Werner recorded nine total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Werner finished tied for first on the team in tackles with fellow linebacker Demario Davis in Week 1, while he was also able to bring down Kyler Murray for his first sack of the year. The 26-year-old has now recorded at least nine takedowns in three consecutive regular-season games dating back to last year.

Werner logged three tackles in Saturday's 28-19 preseason loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Werner didn't play in either of the Saints' first two preseason games but he was on the field for 19 defensive snaps Saturday. He's logged more than 90 total tackles in each of the last two seasons and will remain a key part of the Saints' defense in 2025.

Werner (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werner was in concussion protocol throughout the week and wasn't able to be cleared ahead of the Saints' season finale. He'll thus miss his fourth game of the campaign. Werner will finish 2024 with 92 tackles (54 solo) -- one shy of his career-best mark -- along with one pass defensed over 13 contests. He's signed with New Orleans through the end of the 2026 season.

Werner (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE 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.

Werner (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Werner entered concussion protocols following the Saints' 30-24 loss to the Commanders this past Sunday. He was unable to practice Wednesday, so his ability to participate in a limited capacity Thursday indicates he is progressing in his recovery. Werner would have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay.

Werner did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Werner had a team-high 13 tackles (seven solo) during the Saints' Week 17 loss to the Raiders. The 2021 second-round pick likely injured his head during the game and was diagnosed with a concussion following further tests after the contest. Werner would have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Buccaneers.

Werner recorded 13 tackles (seven total) during Sunday's 25-10 loss versus the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Werner was kept busy in a game where Las Vegas ran the ball 38 times, and he reached double digits in the tackle department for the first time this season. He's eight tackles away from his first 100-tackle season going into a Week 18 matchup at Tampa Bay.

Werner registered six tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Werner has logged at least five tackles in each of the Saints' last six games. He's up to 63 tackles (43 solo) and one pass defense across 10 regular-season games. Werner and the Saints' defense wasn't really tested against against the Giants, but they'll have their hands full against a Commanders team that put up 42 points against the Titans in Week 12.

Werner recorded eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 21-14 loss versus the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Werner tallied eight-plus tackles for the third time in his last five games in Week 13. He's been his usual self this season, dutifully filling gaps in the run game and pitching in sparingly in other facets. He'll be on the IDP radar as a high-floor option when the Saints travel to take on the Giants in Week 14.
