ESPN Insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy on a grim NFL morning — one where Micah Parsons and Patrick Mahomes were both lost to ACL injuries within hours of each other. Schefter describes the exact moment he saw the Parsons replay: “Oh my God… this guy just tore his ACL. You knew it immediately.” He details how rare and destabilizing it is for the league to have two of its biggest superstars go down in the same afternoon, calling it a “dark day” for the NFL that overshadowed every win, upset, and playoff storyline. The conversation then shifts to the NFL’s escalating injury epidemic: 309 players placed on IR through Week 15 2023 total at this point: 274 Trending toward one of the highest totals in league history Schefter is candid about the league’s expectations for expanding the season: Will injuries stop the NFL from adding an 18th game? Schefter’s answer: almost certainly no. He explains that owners will offer: Two bye weeks Significant additional compensation Contract adjustments written into the next CBA …making it difficult for players to resist, even with injury concerns at an all-time high. Other Schefter insights include: Why Devontae Adams is unlikely to play Thursday after tweaking his hamstring Why Josh Allen has the “easiest and hardest” Super Bowl path simultaneously Which teams Schefter believes are legitimate AFC threats Why Alan Lazard still has a chance to land somewhere useful The surprising head-coach candidates emerging at Michigan Finally, Schefter shares a surprisingly relatable detail: His Christmas tradition? “Always work. Thirty-five years. Christmas, New Year’s… always work.” 🎧 A sharp, honest, national perspective on the NFL’s most turbulent injury weekend — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

ESPN’s Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy from Denver after one of the most gut-punch losses in recent Packers memory — not because of the score, but because Green Bay presumably lost Micah Parsons for the season with a torn ACL. Rob describes the stunned mood inside the locker room, including the powerful moment when Rashan Gary paused for 12 full seconds before answering how the defense moves forward. It wasn’t quite a funeral atmosphere, but it was nowhere near normal — a team absorbing immediate, season-altering bad news. Demovsky also provides key injury updates: Christian Watson was taken to the hospital as a precaution but was cleared to fly — a positive sign. Zach Tom & Evan Williams avoided season-ending injuries but are “week-to-week,” and Green Bay is running out of weeks. With Parsons out, the Packers must reinvent their defense on the fly. Rob explains: Jeff Hafley will need to lean heavily on blitz packages that worked last year. Corners will have to survive longer isolation snaps with no elite pressure to help them. The pressure gap — 64 pressures for Parsons vs. 28 for Gary — is the largest difference between any team’s No. 1 and No. 2 pass rushers in the NFL. Rashan Gary must not just lead — he must dramatically raise his level of play. The segment also covers: Whether Matthew Golden becomes a bigger factor in Watson’s absence How Christian Watson’s injury happened at the moment Green Bay could have put the game away Why Matt LaFleur’s contract extension now becomes complicated Why Ed Policy may shift more power back toward Brian Gutekunst in head-coach decisions 🎧 A clear, emotional, and detailed breakdown of the Packers’ harsh new reality — only with Rob Demovsky on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
