The Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins kicked off Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season on Thursday Night Football. The Ravens, with Lamar Jackson back, came away with a 28-6 win, improving to 3-5 on the season.
Sunday’s action begins with eight games in the 1:00 p.m. (ET) slate, as there are no international games this week. However, four teams are on bye in Week 8: the Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets, and Cleveland Browns.
D’Andre Swift and Isiah Pacheco are already ruled out for Week 9, and apart from them, several other star players will also not play this week. Here is the complete list of inactives for Week 9:
