Week 9 NFL schedule, scores, live updates: Browns QB Shedeur Sanders to start vs. Saints; Cam Skattebo doubtful, Emeka Egbuka questionable
Follow along with all of Sunday's action in Week 9.
Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season kicks off with a focus on backup quarterbacks. Following the Baltimore Ravens' third-stringer Joe Fagnano stepping in against the Houston Texans, several other backups are set to take the field in Week 9. Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, making his first start of the season, will lead the Browns against the New Orleans Saints after Deshaun Watson suffered a concussion in Week 8.
Sanders is joined by Philadelphia Eagles backup Joe Milton III, who will face J.J. McCarthy of the New York Giants. Meanwhile, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock will start in place of Sam Darnold for a game against the Arizona Cardinals, who replaced Jacoby Brissett as their starter.
Injury concerns loom for key players heading into Week 9. Giants running back Cam Skattebo is doubtful with a hamstring issue, and wide receiver Emeka Egbuka faces a possible absence due to a foot problem. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans both secure a bye week this week.
