It's officially Week 1 of the 2026 NFL regular season, which means that it's time for each team's initial injury report. Per usual, there are a myriad of players to keep an eye on between now and their team's first game. Every NFL team is required to issue three injury reports throughout the week. The week's final injury report includes game designations for players who are dealing with injuries. Teams are then required to submit a release of their inactive players 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Wednesday reports are especially important because they allow fans to see their team's initial injury status at the start of their work week. By following injury reports daily, fans can see how players are progressing or regressing throughout the week. Below is a rundown of every team's Wednesday injury report. Be sure to check back periodically as we'll be continuously providing updates throughout the day.
Wednesday, September 9 Patriots at Seahawks (8:20 p.m. ET) Patriots INACTIVES: CB Karon Prunty, RB Treveyon Henderson, OLB Erick Hunter, T Walter Rouse, C Ben Brown, WR Efton Chism, QB Behren Morton Seahawks INACTIVES: WR Ty Okada, S Nick Emmanwori, WR Tory Horton, G Beau Stephens, DE Mike Morris, TE Nick Kallerup, QB Jalen Milroe Brown's status for Wednesday night was expected, as he did not travel with the team to Seattle. His absence would create an issue for the Patriots if starting center Jared Wilson sustains an injury at any point. New England doesn't have any other centers on their active roster, so the assumption would be that one of its backup guards (Greg Van Roten or Walter Rouse) would fill in if Wilson were to get injured.
