Packers' Javon Hargrave: Won't play Sunday
Hargrave (concussion/knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Hargrave was listed as doubtful after Friday's practice, so it is no surprise that the nose tackle has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. The 33-year-old was able to log only one limited practice session throughout Week 2, meaning he will still need to upgrade to full participation and clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in Week 3 before even thinking about stepping back on a game-day field.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Likely missing Week 2
Hargrave (concussion/knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Wes Hodkiewicz reports.
Hargrave was a limited participant in Wednesday's session as he worked through a concussion and a knee issue. The starting nose tackle then missed the Thursday and Friday's sessions. It now appears Hargrave will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Jets, but if he's able to play, he would need to be vetted by an independent neurologist to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Misses practice Thursday
Hargrave (knee/concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday.
The defensive tackle was limited Wednesday. Hargrave played on 29 defensive snaps and one special-teams snap last week against Minnesota, making one tackle. If he can't go Sunday, Jonathan Ford is the next man up at nose tackle.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Will suit up Sunday
Hargrave (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Hargrave was limited at practice all week by a knee issue, but it won't keep him off the field in Week 1. To the extent that the veteran's stamina and health allows, he figures to see plenty of work on Green Bay's defensive line in 2026.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Limited again Thursday
Hargrave (knee) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Thursday.
Hargrave has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices as he continues to work his way back from a knee injury that sidelined him for the entirety of training camp. The defensive tackle will have one more chance to log a full practice Friday before potentially making his regular-season debut with the Packers on Sunday against Minnesota.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Activated off active/PUP list
The Packers activated Hargrave (knee) off the active/PUP list Sunday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Hargrave returned to practice Sunday after missing training camp with a knee issue. The nose tackle's return means rookie Warren Brinson will likely see fewer snaps. Hargrave's return is a huge boost to the Packers' defensive interior, and the veteran has returned just in time to get some preseason reps.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Tending to knee issue
Hargrave is on the Packers' active/PUP list during training camp due to a knee injury, Matt Schneidman of the Athletic reports.
Per Schneidman, whatever happened to Hargrave's knee after the end of last season is not a long-term concern. Green Bay will likely exercise patience with the offseason free agent acquisition, potentially giving 2025 sixth-rounder Warren Brinson some chances to work with the first-team defensive line.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Placed on PUP list
Hargrave (undisclosed) was put on the active/PUP list by the Packers on Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
The defensive tackle signed a two-year, $23 million contract with Green Bay in March after getting released by Minnesota. Hargrave can be activated at any time during training camp if his injury is not serious, though the severity remains unclear. The 33-year-old played 536 defensive snaps for the Vikings during the 2025 regular season, recording 52 tackles (18 solo), including 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 16 games.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Inks two-year deal with Green Bay
The Packers agreed to terms with Hargrave on a two-year, $23 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hargrave was released by Minnesota in a cost-cutting move earlier Wednesday. He quickly lands back on his feet with the division-rival Packers. Now 33 years old, Hargrave remains productive after accruing 52 tackles (18 solo), including 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season contests in 2025. He figures to slot in at nose tackle for Green Bay.

Javon Hargrave: Let go by Vikings
Hargrave is slated to be released by Minnesota on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hargrave's release doesn't come as a surprise, as the team informed him of the planned transaction in early March, and a trade never seemed likely to materialized. The veteran defensive tackle stands to draw solid interest as a free agent.
