Javon Hargrave, defensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers, was carted off the field with a non-contact injury during the closing moments of Week 5's game against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed concerns of a potential Achilles injury, stating it 'doesn't look good' for Hargrave. The defensive star's status remains uncertain, and the team may need to identify a replacement should his injury be season-ending. The Packers, who signed Hargrave to a two-year, $23 million deal in 2026, are already limited in their options for backup players in that position. They have until November 10 to make any trades for reinforcements.
