Packers' Javon Hargrave: Suiting up for TNF
Hargrave (concussion/knee) is active for Thursday Night Football against the Falcons, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
The defensive tackle entered the day with a questionable tag after practicing on a limited basis during the week leading up to the game. Hargrave had to be cleared by an independent neurologist for full contact to have a chance to play Thursday night, and it appears that he has gotten that clearance. The veteran should be ready to start at nose tackle.

Packers' Javon Hargrave: Questionable for TNF
Hargrave (concussion/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reported Wednesday.
Hargrave logged limited participation throughout the Packers' Week 3 practices as he deals with both a knee injury and a concussion. The starting nose tackle will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist for full contact by Thursday's game to be able to suit up.

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.

Hargrave (knee/concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday.

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.

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.

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.

The Packers agreed to terms with Hargrave on a two-year, $23 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
