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.

Werner (hand) is questionable to return to New Orleans' matchup Sunday versus the Falcons. Werner went down with a hand injury in the second half of the matchup, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. Anfernee Orji is now in at linebacker in Werner's place.

Werner (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Werner upgraded from limited work Wednesday and Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his hamstring issue in time for Sunday's contest. Expect Werner to start alongside Demario Davis and Willie Gay in New Orleans' inside linebacker corps in Week 8.

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.

Werner (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Werner didn't practice all week after missing the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. Expect Anfernee Orji or Jaylan Ford to serve as New Orleans' top weakside linebacker with both Werner and Nephi Sewell (knee) out in Week 6.
