NFL podcast Jessica Kwong Wed Sep 24, 2025

#1 The New York Giants will most likely bench veteran quarterback Russell Wilson and replace him with rookie Jaxson Dart. Dart makes his first start at Giants Stadium against the Los Angeles Chargers. Dart was the 25th overall pick this season.

#2 Former Dallas Cowboys and now Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons sacked his former teammate Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Parsons said it was painful sacking Prescott, “That’s my guy. He was always like a good mentor for me. But you know how it is. He always told me if I ever faced him that it’ll be a great matchup, so I’m excited to see what Sunday brings itself.”

#3 The Houston Texans released safety CJ Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday. Johnson played in only three games with just 15 tackles and no interceptions and didn’t break up any passes. Johnson was the Texans 2022 first round draft pick as the Texans traded left guard Kenyon Green to get Johnson.

#4  Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said on Tuesday that he’s handing over the offensive play calling over to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree. Nick Holz will stay at offensive coordinator and will continue doing the same work building the offense.

#5 Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has a deferred prosecution regarding his DUI case says a King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office they told ESPN. Sherman’s attorney requested the deferment which was granted by a King County District Court judge. That means that the charge is held in abeyance as the defendant agrees to meet the court requirements. Sherman was booked on a Feb 2024 DUI charge for driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.11 over the state requirement of 0.08.

#1 San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones subbing for Brock Purdy let it fly in New Orleans with three touchdowns and passed for 279 yards. Was this a great game for Jones or throwing against the Saints who are a struggling team wasn’t the real test just yet for Jones?

#2 Jones had himself a great game of sorts in order to get some real attention if he was to come out against the Arizona Cardinals and have another three touchdown game again could he give head coach Kyle Shanahan something to think about or no matter how great Jones throws Brock Purdy gets back in there at the first opportunity?

#3 David it’s Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals this coming Sun Sep 21 for the home opener for the 49ers. The Cardinals won their first two games beating the Saints and Carolina Panthers would you say this is the Cardinals first real test while the 49ers have beaten the Seattle Seahawks and the Saints how do you see this clash this weekend?

That one wasn’t Jake, that’s the whole operation. We got to do better.”

#3 Tight End George Kittle is out with a hamstring for a few weeks and quarterback Brock Purdy has a toe and shoulder injury. Shanahan said he was more concerned with the Purdy toe injury than the shoulder injury. Purdy could be possibly shelfed for the game in New Orleans Sunday.
