EDGE Analysis

Werner missed his first game of the season in Week 13, and after a week of limited practice sessions, he has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the 25-year-old were to miss his second consecutive game, Zack Baun would likely assume starting inside linebacker duties alongside Demario Davis.
