Saints' Pete Werner: Logs solid 2023 campaign
Werner finished the 2023 season with 93 tackles and one interception across 16 appearances.
Werner logged career highs across the board, including 16 starts at inside linebacker alongside 12-year veteran Demario Davis. The 2021 second-round pick also played 306 more defensive snaps than last season, though he only finished with 13 more tackles. With Davis currently set to become a free agent this offseason, it's possible that Werner could see his production rise once again entering the final season of his four-year, $5.68 million contract.

Saints' Pete Werner: Set to return Week 14
Werner (oblique) is active for Sunday's contest against Carolina.
Werner missed last Sunday's game versus Detroit due to an oblique injury, but his absence will last only one week as he's set to return to face the Panthers. The third-year linebacker has played a near every-down role for the Saints when healthy, accumulating 67 tackles (43 solo), including half a sack, along with an interception on the season. Nephi Sewell will presumably have a minimal role on defense again after starting last week in Werner's stead.

Saints' Pete Werner: Chance to return Week 14
Werner (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
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.

Saints' Pete Werner: Misses another practice
Werner (oblique) did not practice Thursday, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Werner has now logged consecutive DNPs after he played a typical workload in Week 12 against the Falcons, so it's hard to say how serious the injury may be. His practice level Friday will likely give more clarity on his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Lions.
