  • Saints' Pete Werner: Six tackles in Week 14

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

    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 weren't really tested against the Giants, but they'll have their hands full against a Commanders team that put up 42 points against the Titans in Week 13.

  • Saints' Pete Werner: Solid day in loss

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

    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.

  • Saints' Pete Werner: Officially active for Week 11

    Werner (hand) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

    After logging consecutive DNPs to open the week due to a hand injury, Werner was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, which is good enough for him to suit up for Sunday's contest. Over his last three outings, Werner has logged 22 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defense.

  • Saints' Pete Werner: Expected to play Sunday

    Werner (hand) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Browns, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Werner suffered a hand injury in Week 10 against the Falcons, which caused him to miss the first two practices of the week. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday to earn himself a questionable tag for Sunday's game, and it appears the 2021 second-round pick will be available to play.

    Werner (hand) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Werner is expected to be a game-time decision, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports. The Saints want to make sure Werner can't do any further damage to the hand before clearing him to play. Werner missed three games earlier in the season with a hamstring issue.

    Werner (hand) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Werner played 49 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles and one pass defended before exiting Sunday's win over the Falcons with a hand injury. Wednesday's DNP suggests that issue could be serious, and the Ohio State product will likely have to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 11, when the Saints host the Browns.

  • Saints' Pete Werner: Questionable to return

    Werner recorded nine tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 26-8 loss against the Chargers.

    Werner played nearly every single one of the Saints' defensive snaps in his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he actually set a new season-high tackle total for himself. He'll be on the fringe of IDP consideration in some formats for a Week 9 showdown at Carolina.

  • Saints' Pete Werner: Limited to open week

    Werner (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Saints' practice Wednesday.

  • Saints' Pete Werner: Out for third straight game

    Werner (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos.

    Werner injured his hamstring leading up to the Saints' Week 5 contest against the Chiefs, which has prevented him from practicing since. He'll miss his third straight game Thursday, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 against the Chargers on Oct. 27. The Saints have played nickel corner packages more often in Werner's absence, which has meant increased defensive snaps for Alontae Taylor, while D'Marco Jackson and Anfernee Orji have provided rotational depth at linebacker behind starters Demario Davis and Willie Gay.
