Packers news: Javon Hargrave passes concussion protocol, will play in TNF

Green Bay Packers' defensive tackle Javon Hargrave has passed the concussion protocol and will play in Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons, according to a post by Jeremy Fowler on X. The Packers, currently at a 1-1 start to the season, have faced a series of injuries but Hargrave's return will bolster their defensive line.

This is crucial against the Falcons, who will welcome back starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Hargrave, a 33-year-old 11th-year NFL veteran, earned two Pro Bowl honors during his career. The Packers' defensive line has been contributing significantly to their strong run defense, according to linebacker Zaire Franklin. The Packers' primary focus remains on executing their techniques and playing with the needed effort, particularly in containing the run.
