Saints' Pete Werner: Ruled out for Week 18
Werner (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Werner was in concussion protocol throughout the week and wasn't able to be cleared ahead of the Saints' season finale. He'll thus miss his fourth game of the campaign. Werner will finish 2024 with 92 tackles (54 solo) -- one shy of his career-best mark -- along with one pass defensed over 13 contests. He's signed with New Orleans through the end of the 2026 season.

Saints' Pete Werner: Questionable for Week 18 finale
Werner (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Werner was concussed in last Sunday's loss to the Raiders and remains in the league's protocol. Clearing protocol in one week's time isn't typical anymore in the NFL, so he should be considered genuinely questionable for the Saints' Week 18 season finale. Through 13 games this season, Werner has logged 92 tackles (54 solo) and one pass breakup.

He was unable to practice Wednesday, so his ability to participate in a limited capacity Thursday indicates he is progressing in his recovery. Werner would have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay.

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.
