  • Impressive showing in Year 2

    Werner posted 80 tackles (56 solo), three passes defended and two forced fumbles while playing 12 of 17 games in the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Werner posted career highs in tackles and passes defended despite playing three fewer games than he did during his 2021 rookie season. The second-round pick stepped up into a significantly larger role alongside veteran linebacker Demario Davis to begin the 2022 campaign, as he logged double-digit tackles in three of the first eight games. Werner then sustained an ankle injury Week 9 and missed some time before returning for three of the final four regular-season games, though he played markedly…read more

  • Available for Week 17

    Werner (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: After practicing on a limited basis in each session earlier this week, Werner will now avoid missing a second straight contest as a result of a hamstring injury. The second-year pro figures to capture the first takeaway of his NFL career this weekend versus Philadelphia.

  • Questionable against Eagles

    Werner (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Werner sat out last week against the Browns due to a hamstring injury and was limited during each of the Saints' practice sessions ahead of their Week 17 matchup against the Eagles. If he's unavailable once again, Kaden Elliss will likely continue to see increased playing time.

  • Ruled out again Week 16

    Werner (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's game against the Browns, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Werner missed four games in a row after suffering an ankle injury during New Orleans' Week 9 loss to the Ravens. While he finally returned Week 15 against Atlanta, the second-year linebacker picked up a new hamstring issue that kept him sidelined for all three practices ahead of Saturday's contest, so he'll now look to work his way back ahead of the Saints' next game against Philadelphia on Sunday, Jan. 1. With Werner out again, expect Kaden Elliss, who logged 40 tackles while filling in during…read more

  • Noted as non-participant

    Werner (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: Werner returned from a four-game absence Sunday as a result of an ankle issue, but he's since been listed on the Saints' practice report as a non-participant during Tuesday's walk-through due to a new hamstring injury he presumably picked up this past weekend against the Falcons. If the second-year pro is ultimately unable to give it a go Saturday against the Browns, then New Orleans could revert back to rotating between more defensive linemen to fill Werner's vacated spot.

  • Cleared for Week 15

    Werner (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Werner, who's missed four straight contests due to an ankle injury, was listed as questionable but will ultimately suit up Sunday. Before his injury, Werner totaled 71 tackles, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles while playing at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the Saints' first eight games. The second-year linebacker's availability will likely mean less snaps for Kaden Elliss, but Werner may be limited during his return from a lengthy absence.

  • Iffy for Week 15

    Werner (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Werner has missed four consecutive contests due to an ankle injury and is in jeopardy of missing a fifth after logging three straight limited practices following the team's Week 14 bye. Kaden Elliss has stepped up as a starter in Werner's absence, totaling 40 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defense over the Saints' past four games.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Werner (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Atlanta, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Werner has sat out New Orleans' last four games, and he still apparently isn't fully healthy coming off of a Week 14 bye. If the 2021 second-rounder is again out for Week 15, Kaden Elliss would probably continue to see an expanded role at linebacker.

  • Sitting Monday

    Werner (ankle) is inactive Monday against the Buccaneers.

    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.

  • Considered questionable

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

    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.

  • Returns to practice Thursday

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

    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…read more

  • Remaining out Week 12

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

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

  • Unable to practice Wednesday

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

    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.

  • Sitting out Week 11

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

    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…read more

  • DNP on Wednesday

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

    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…read more

  • Unavailable against Pittsburgh

    Werner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    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.

  • Listed as DNP on Wednesday

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

    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.

  • Forced out with injury

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

    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.

  • Leading tackler again Sunday

    Werner recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 24-0 win against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Werner logged his third double-digit tackle outing of the season and played all but one of the Saints' defensive snaps Week 8. The second-year linebacker has quickly emerged as one of the NFL's top tacklers after stepping into a starting role this season, and he now sits at 71 stops (52 solo), three passes defended and two forced fumbles over eight games in 2022. Werner should be in line for another productive outing during next Monday's game against the Ravens.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Six stops in Week 6

    Werner recorded six tackles during Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Werner played 95 percent of the team's defensive snaps Sunday en route to a six-tackle performance. The second-year linebacker currently leads the Saints with 53 tackles through the first six weeks of the season, and he'll likely have another busy night Thursday in Arizona.

  • Forces crucial fumble Sunday

    Werner recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Werner stripped DK Metcalf on the first play of the third quarter, which served as the Saints' lone takeaway in Week 5. The second-year linebacker played 88 percent of the team's defensive snaps Sunday, and he now has 47 tackles and two forced fumbles through five contests. Werner will look to build off this strong performance when the team hosts Cincinnati on Sunday.

  • Effective against Minnesota

    Werner generated nine tackles (eight solo) during the Saints' 28-25 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although Werner fell just short of recording double-digit tackles for a second consecutive week, he remained consistent during the Saints' game in London. The 2021 second-rounder racked up 62 tackles last year and already has 40 tackles (32 solo), a pass defense and a forced fumble over the first four games of the 2022 campaign.

  • Leads team in tackles once again

    Werner tallied 11 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 22-14 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Werner led the Saints in combined and solo tackles after playing all but two of the team's defensive snaps in Week 3. After shifting into a full-time starting role, the second-year linebacker currently leads New Orleans in combined (32) and solo (24) tackles through three games. Werner is on track to finish as the team's leading tackler and one of the league's most productive defenders in 2022, barring any injuries.

  • Gives steady performance

    Werner contributed eight tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed in the Saints' 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Werner delivered another solid performance coming off his 13-tackle Week 1 effort. His 18 solo tackles now lead the league. The second-year pro moved into a full-time starting role this season and is proving to be deserving of the promotion early on. If he is able to continue putting up these types of numbers, he should be on the IDP radar of fantasy managers.

  • Leading tackler in Week 1 win

    Werner had 13 tackles (12 solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Werner was limited during the week due to a groin injury, but he didn't look affected by it whatsoever in the season opener while leading the Saints in tackles. The 2021 second-round pick had 62 tackles as a rookie, but Werner's expected to blow past that mark as a full-time starter in his second season.

  • Cleared for Week 1

    Werner (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Werner was limited Wednesday and Thursday due to a groin injury, but he registered a full practice Friday and will be full go for Sunday. The 2021 second-round pick operated as a rotational piece for the Saints as a rookie, but he's in line for an increased role in 2022 after the departure of Kwon Alexander during the offseason.

  • Dealing with groin injury

    Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Werner is dealing with a groin injury again, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Werner started training camp on the NFI list due to an undisclosed injury but was activated August 1 and returned to practice. However, per Underhill's report, it sounds like Werner has suffered a setback and may be sidelined again. The 2021 second-round pick operated as a rotational piece for the Saints defense last year but is in line for an increased role after the departure of Kwon Alexander earlier this offseason.

  • Comes off NFI list

    Werner was activated from the Saints' active/non-football injury list Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Werner appears ready to return to active participation just five days after he opened training camp on the NFI list with an undisclosed injury. The 2021 second-round pick started eight of 15 games while serving a rotational role for the Saints last year, and he figures to see increased playing time after the departure of fellow linebacker Kwon Alexander in free agency earlier this offseason.

  • Lands on NFI list

    Werner (undisclosed) was placed on the Saints' active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The exact nature of Werner's health status is unclear, but he is still eligible to practice and play at any point in the preseason. The second-round pick totaled 62 tackles over 15 games with eight starts during his 2021 rookie campaign. Backup linebackers Eric Wilson and Kaden Elliss should see increased reps during Werner's absence.

  • Will return Sunday

    Werner (elbow) will play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Werner missed the Saints' Week 14 contest against the Jets, but after practicing in full Friday, he has been cleared from the injury report. The rookie should return to his rotational role in the Saints' linebacker unit Sunday in the matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Sitting out Week 14

    Werner (elbow) won't play Sunday against the Jets, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Werner's usage on defense had declined in recent weeks, but the rookie second-round pick has been a mainstay on special teams for the Saints. With Kaden Elliss (hamstring) also sidelined, the Saints will be thin at linebacker despite having their starters available.

    Published: Fri, Dec 10 at 1:50pm by Rotowire.com

  • Makes six stops vs. Seahawks

    Werner had six tackles (five solo) during Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Werner had his lowest tackle total as a starter versus Seattle, and he wasn't involved elsewhere on the stat sheet. Still, the rookie second-round pick did log two straight games with double-digit stops prior to Monday's showing, so he remains worthy of IDP fantasy consideration ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Double-digit tackles again

    Werner notched 13 tackles (eight solo) during New Orleans' win over Washington in Week 5.

    Analysis: Werner has 23 tackles over his last two contests, and he played a season-high 99 percent of defensive snaps versus the Football Team. As long as Kwon Alexander (elbow) remains sidelined, Werner will remain in the mix as a potential IDP starter. After a Week 6 bye, the Saints will take on the Seahawks on Oct. 25.

  • Big tackling day

    Werner managed 10 tackles (six solo) during the Saints' loss to the Giants in Week 4.

    Analysis: Werner put together his best tackling day of his young career during last weekend's loss, in which he handled 63 percent of defensive snaps. The rookie second-round pick's IDP value is clearly on the rise, but fantasy managers may want to wait for a larger sample size before trusting him in lineups.

  • Full participant in practice

    Werner (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Werner's full participation in practice is an upgrade from the limited practice he logged Wednesday. The rookie linebacker will likely be ready for the Saints' Week 3 contest against the Patriots.

  • Out Week 2

    Werner (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Werner was a non-participant at practice all week. His absence could lead to Andrew Dowell seeing some extra snaps providing depth at weakside linebacker.

  • Ready for Week 1

    Werner (leg) isn't listed on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Werner was able to suit up for the Saints' preseason win over the Jaguars, however, the linebacker didn't see any snaps. After missing most of August battling his leg injury, Werner seems to be good to go for Sundays' opener against the Packers.

  • Suits up Monday

    Werner (leg) suited up for Monday's preseason victory over the Jaguars, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Werner didn't see any snaps after also missing the preseason opener with an undisclosed leg injury. However, after missing almost two weeks, the fact Werner suited up Monday suggests his return could be near.

  • Sidelined with leg injury

    Werner (leg) is not practicing Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: The nature and severity of Werner's right leg injury remain undisclosed, and he doesn't have much time remaining before the Saints' preseason opener against Baltimore on August 14. That said, the rookie second-round pick still has roughly a month to recover before the regular-season opener against Green Bay.
