Werner (ankle) is inactive Monday against the Buccaneers.

EDGE 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.

Werner (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Buccaneers.

EDGE 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.

Werner (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Saints' injury report Thursday.

EDGE 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 with Kaden Elliss, who has emerged into a full-time staring role over the past three games.

Werner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

EDGE 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 emerged into a prolific role alongside linebacker Demario Davis, and he should be set to start once again Week 12.

Werner (ankle) did not participate in New Orleans' practice Wednesday.

EDGE 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.

Werner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

EDGE 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 will look to work his way back ahead of the Saints' game versus the 49ers on Sunday, Nov. 27. In his absence, expect Kaden Elliss to step up into a prominent role alongside starting middle linebacker Demario Davis.

Werner (ankle) did not participate in the Saints' practice Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE 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. If Werner remains sidelined Sunday against the Rams, expect Kaden Elliss to once again step up into a starting role alongside Demario Davis.

EDGE Analysis

Werner sustained an ankle injury during Monday's loss to the Ravens and was unable to practice this week. Kaden Elliss and Zack Baun will likely handle increased roles against Pittsburgh in Week 10.

Werner (ankle) is listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE 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.

Werner (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Ravens, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

EDGE 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. With Werner out, expect Kaden Elliss and Zack Baun to step up into more prominent roles alongside Demario Davis.
