In Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season, several key injury updates and roster moves impacted multiple teams. The Washington Commanders announced their inactive players for the game against the Seattle Seahawks, with wide receiver Terry McLaurin re-aggravating a quad injury and being ruled out for the game, with reports suggesting he may miss additional weeks, possibly until after their bye week. Other inactive Commanders players included Noah Igbinoghene, Josh Johnson, Kain Medrano, Trent Scott, George Fant, and Colson Yankoff. The team elevated Treylon Burks and Sheldon Day from the practice squad. The Seahawks' inactive list was also released, though specific players were not detailed. Ian Rapoport reported that McLaurin's injury situation is severe, and he might be sidelined until after Week 10, a significant blow to the Commanders' offense. Meanwhile, roster moves across the league included the Jaguars placing rookie Travis Hunter on injured reserve with a knee injury, and the Rams expecting the return of key offensive starters Puka Nacua and Rob Havenstein. The Kansas City Chiefs may be without running back Isiah Pacheco, who suffered a knee sprain, leading Kareem Hunt to potentially handle more carries. The Panthers' Bryce Young returned to practice after a high-ankle sprain, and the Browns' Quinshon Judkins was listed as day-to-day with a shoulder injury. The Saints are considering a quarterback change after Spencer Rattler's benching in a recent loss, with rookie Tyler Shough possibly starting in Week 9. The Jets remain undecided about their starting quarterback between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, even after a win in Week 8. The injury updates reflect a league-wide pattern of key players being sidelined or returning, shaping the Week 9 matchups and team strategies.
