Werner had a two-game streak of double-digit stops snapped, but he was still plenty productive. The veteran linebacker dealt with a neck injury in early October but appears past that issue, as he's played every Saints defensive snap in three straight contests. Werner leads New Orleans with 54 tackles (including 2.0 sacks) through seven games.
