Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has torn his Achilles tendon. Tests on Monday verified the diagnosis, which he sustained during the team's Week 5 game. He will be sidelined for the remainder of the year.
ESPN, NBC Sports, and CBS Sports all covered the story on 12 October 2026. It is a significant blow for Green Bay's defensive line, which will now need to adjust heading into the back half of the season.
