Saints' Zack Baun: Uptick in playing time
Baun recorded 30 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one interception across 17 games in the 2023 regular season.
Baun saw a career high in defensive snaps (292) while continuing to play a primary role on special teams (381).

Saints' Zack Baun: Going to IR
New Orleans placed Baun (ankle) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Baun will have to sit out for the remainder of the regular season as he recovers from an ankle injury he sustained in Week 13 at Tampa Bay. The Saints will probably be forced to lean more heavily on Kaden Elliss at linebacker in the absence of the 2020 third-rounder.

Saints' Zack Baun: Forced out Monday
Baun was ruled out after going down with an ankle injury in Monday's game against the Buccaneers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Baun was able to walk off under his own power while heading into the medical tent on New Orleans' sideline in the first half, according to Hendrix. While the nature of this injury is still unclear, the 25-year-old will have extra time to recover while the Saints are on bye Week 14. With starting linebacker Pete Werner (ankle) once again inactive, Andrew Dowell and Nephi Sewell will likely take on bigger roles for the remainder of this divisional matchup.

Saints' Zack Baun: Dealing with a hamstring injury
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that Baun is dealing with a hamstring injury, Ross Jackson of USA Today reports.
Baun logged five tackles during the Saints' preseason opener and looks good in his new role as weak-side linebacker. The 2020 third-round pick will likely find himself in a rotation with second-round rookie Pete Werner (leg), but that could change if Werner continues to miss time.
