Werner logged two assisted tackles Sunday in a loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
It was 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.

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.
