Oct 12 (Field Level Media) – Tests confirmed that Green Bay defensive ​tackle Javon Hargrave sustained a ‌season-ending torn Achilles tendon on Sunday, ESPN reported on Monday.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur anticipated the bad news ‌after ​their 31-7 victory ⁠against the visiting Chicago ⁠Bears, saying the injury that occurred late in the fourth quarter “doesn’t look good.”

Hargrave, 33, was ​injured while chasing Bears quarterback Case Keenum in the ⁠fourth quarter. He ⁠fell without contact and ​was eventually carted off the field ​with 1:53 remaining.

Hargrave had one ‌tackle and one quarterback hit before exiting. He has six stops in four games this ⁠season after signing with the Packers as a free agent in March.

Hargrave has ⁠438 ‌tackles and 49 sacks ⁠in 150 regular-season games (130 ​starts) ‌with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2016-19), ​Philadelphia Eagles (2020-22), ⁠San Francisco 49ers (2023-24), Minnesota Vikings (2025) and Packers. He earned Pro Bowl honors with the Eagles in 2021 and 49ers in 2023.
