NFL Week 9 injury report: Mike Evans ruled out, Seahawks’ Quenton Nelson ‘week-to-week’ after knee procedure

This week in the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons will do battle in Madrid, the Green Bay Packers will look to spoil Rob Gronkowski's Patriots Hall of Fame induction in New England, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers attempt to make up ground in the NFC South against the surging Chicago Bears.

Injuries are mounting across the league as we cross the halfway point of the 2026 season, and that includes at quarterback. Shedeur Sanders will make his first start of the season for the Cleveland Browns in place of Deshaun Watson as they take on the New Orleans Saints, Drew Lock replaces Sam Darnold in the lineup for the Seattle Seahawks, and Carson Wentz will try to make the most of his opportunity against the Buffalo Bills with Kyler Murray sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Another notable injury storyline is with new Seahawks offensive guard Quenton Nelson. Just one week after trading a third-round pick and future fifth-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts for the eight-time Pro Bowl left guard, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters that Nelson needs a minor knee procedure. NFL Media reports it's to clean out cartilage, as fragments have been causing an issue.
