Two teams won't be playing this week.
as teams around the NFL take turns getting a week off to plan for the stretch run and recover from the physical ailments accumulated from the game of football.
For newer fans, a "bye week" is a week off all NFL teams get at some point in the schedule. It means they will not play that week and can use their time off to rest, recover and reset. Bye weeks are spread out between Week 5 and Week 15. So from now until December, each week of games will be missing a few teams-- except for this past Week 8, which was a delightfully loaded slate that won't repeat itself until the Christmas lights are up and flickering.
Conversely, the 49ers limp into their bye week. They are coming off an encouraging victory over the Dallas Cowboys onbut the roster is pretty banged-up, especially after losing Brandon Aiyuk for the season. Reinforcements may await on the other side, though, as Christian McCaffrey's status grows more positive by the week.There are some substantial names that will be missing from the lineups in Week 9.
