Week 8 Injury Report: Lineup Pivots to Have Ready

Official game designations and what to do with the affected lineup spots.

Game week

2026 NFL Week 8 · Nov. 1–2, 2026. Game designations are not final inactives.

Emeka Egbuka — out

The Bucs list Egbuka out with a foot injury. Replace him before Atlanta–Tampa Bay at 1 p.m. ET. One inactive week doesn’t change the rest-of-season hold decision by itself.

A.J. Brown and TreVeyon Henderson — out

New England lists both out against Miami. Move them out of starting slots now rather than counting on a late update; don’t assume one backup absorbs the whole role.

Jaylen Waddle — questionable

Denver lists Waddle questionable with a chest injury for the 4:25 p.m. ET game. Have a late option at WR or flex before the early games kick off.
