Packers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave out for season with Achilles injury

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 31-7 on October 11, 2026, but faced a major setback as defensive tackle Javon Hargrave suffered a season-ending torn Achilles late in the game. Hargrave's injury occurred while pursuing Bears quarterback Case Keenum, leading to him being carted off the field. This marks the second consecutive week the Packers have lost a defender to an Achilles injury, following linebacker Edgerrin Cooper's similar fate in Week 4. Hargrave, who joined the Packers this offseason, had contributed six tackles over the first four games of the season. The Packers now need to adjust their defensive strategy in light of these injuries as they continue through the 2026 season.
