Week 9 Injury Report: Lineup Pivots to Have Ready

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

Game week

2026 NFL Week 9 · Nov. 8–9, 2026. Game designations are not final inactives.

Garrett Wilson and DeVonta Smith — out

The Jets list Wilson out with a concussion; Philadelphia lists Smith out with a hamstring injury. Set replacements and avoid treating the vacated targets as a guaranteed projection for any one teammate.

David Montgomery — out

Houston lists Montgomery out with a groin injury for its 4:05 p.m. ET game against the Chargers. Check the replacement’s expected workload before spending a premium claim.

Hunter Henry — questionable

New England lists Henry questionable with a foot injury for 4:25 p.m. ET. If you don’t have a healthy late tight end as insurance, a playable early option is the safer lineup decision.
