Gets sack in return to larger role
Hargrave had eight total tackles, a sack and two tackles for a loss in Sunday's win at Detroit. He returned to the starting lineup after his role had been scaled back in the previous two games, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave played on 39 of the defense's 64 snaps. He had played less than 40% of the defensive snaps the previous two weeks. He had been seen as not living up to his two-year, $30 million contract before last week, but may have turned his season around.
Sep 26, 2025
Ready for Sunday
Hargrave (chest) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice Friday, suggesting he's moved past his chest issue in time to face the Steelers on Sunday morning. Hargrave has recorded 11 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across his first three games as a Viking. He's expected to start opposite Jonathan Allen in Week 4.
Sep 24, 2025
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Hargrave (chest) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave played just 11 defensive snaps during the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals this past Sunday after suffering a chest injury. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation this week to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's Week 4 clash against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.
Sep 21, 2025
Leaves game with chest injury
Hargrave is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a chest injury.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave spent time in the medical tent with trainers to have the severity of his chest injury evaluated. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and Levi Drake Rodriguez should see an uptick in snaps on the defensive line for as long as Hargrave is out of the game.
Sep 9, 2025
Picks up 2.0 sacks in Vikings debut
Hargrave finished Monday's 27-24 Week 1 win over Chicago with five tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave made a big impact in his first game with the Vikings after signing a two-year contract in March. The veteran pass-rusher logged both of Minnesota's sacks in the narrow victory and tied for second on the team with five total tackles. Hargrave appeared fully healthy after playing only three games last year due to a triceps tear.
Mar 12, 2025
Moving to Minnesota
Hargrave signed a two-year, $30 million deal with the Vikings on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old defensive tackle has found a new home in Minnesota after spending the last two seasons with the 49ers. Hargrave dealt with a tricep injury that sidelined him for the majority of San Francisco's 2024 campaign, limiting him to just three games. However, he played in 16 regular-season contests in 2023, recording 44 total tackles, including 7.0 sacks, and two passes defended across 600 defensive snaps. Hargrave is expected to see plenty of playing time alongside Harrison Phillips and Jonathan Allen on the Vikings' new-look defensive line in 2025.
Mar 6, 2025
Soon to be free agent
San Francisco plans to release Hargrave when the new league year begins next Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave suited up for just three games during the 2024 season as a result of after tearing his tricep Week 3. The two-time Pro Bowl selection turned 32 years old in February and carries a cap hit of $9.69 million in 2025, both of which were likely factors in the 49ers' decision to move on from him.
Mar 5, 2025
Past injury
Hargrave has recovered from his triceps injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave is expected to be released by the 49ers after June 1, according to general manager John Lynch. The 32-year-old missed San Francisco's final 14 games last season due to a triceps issue that landed him on injured reserve. However, he now appears to have moved past the issue, making him fully healthy just in time for free agency. The veteran from South Carolina State is expected to be a sought-after target on the free-agent market for teams in need of interior defensive line help.
Jan 8, 2025
Could be moving on
General manager John Lynch confirmed Wednesday that the 49ers plan to release Hargrave (triceps) after June 1, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave has two years remaining on a four-year contract he signed in March of 2023. According to Wagoner, San Francisco is interested in bringing him back next season, as his release would be for cap purposes. The veteran defensive tackle only appeared in three games in 2024 before suffering a torn triceps, finishing his campaign with seven tackles (four solo) and 1.0 sacks.
Sep 28, 2024
Placed on IR with torn triceps
The 49ers placed Hargrave (triceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave partially tore his triceps during the 49ers' Week 3 loss to the Rams, and head coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Monday that the injury likely keep the veteran defensive tackle out for the rest of the regular season, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. With Hargrave sidelined, Jordan Elliott is set to serve as San Francisco's starting defensive tackle alongside Maliek Collins, though Elliot is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after injuring his foot during Thursday's practice.
Sep 23, 2024
Likely done for season
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Hargrave is dealing with a partially torn triceps and will probably miss the rest of the season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave picked up an injury during Sunday's loss at the Rams that the team initially hoped was only minor, but further investigation revealed the issue to be quite serious. For as long as he's out, Jordan Elliott projects to see increased playing time, but Hargrave's absence could prove to be a significant blow to the quality of the 49ers' front seven as a unit.
Sep 22, 2024
Has triceps injury
Hargrave has a triceps injury after Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said it might just be a contusion, per Branch. Hargrave recorded three tackles, including a sack, during the defeat. The defensive tackle made four stops across the 49ers' first two contests.
Jul 25, 2024
On field at training camp
Hargrave (thumb) was photographed practicing to kick off 49ers training camp.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave appears fully recovered from the torn ligament in his left thumb that he dealt with down the stretch in 2023. The 31-year-old defensive tackle looks fully on track to reprise his starting role up front for San Francisco. In fantasy leagues that require starting DTs, Hargrave is in the mix as an IDP option, having tallied 44 tackles (25 solo), 7.0 sacks and two passes defensed across 16 regular-season appearances in 2023.
Feb 13, 2024
Played through thumb injury
Hargrave is currently dealing with a thumb injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
General manager John Lynch announced that Hargrave finished the season playing with a torn ligament in his thumb. While it's not yet known if the 31-year-old will require surgery, the 31-year-old will now shift his focus to getting ready for the 2024 campaign.
Jan 2, 2024
Underwhelms in blowout win
Hargrave recorded one total tackle in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave had a lackluster performance in Week 17, logging just one tackle for the fourth time this season. The veteran defensive lineman has still been extremely productive in his first year with San Francisco, ranking second on the 49ers in both tackles for loss (eight) and sacks (7.0). His status for Week 18 could be up in the air with San Francisco already locking up the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
Dec 27, 2023
Limited at Wednesday's walk-through
Hargrave (hamstring) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walk-through.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave injured his hamstring Week 14 versus Seattle and sat out the following week versus Arizona. He was able to return to face Baltimore on Christmas Day, logging three tackles, including a sack, in the loss. His estimated limited participation Wednesday isn't all that concerning given that he logged a DNP/LP/LP progression last week, though it bears monitoring the extent to which he's able to practice during the remainder of Week 17 prep ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Washington.
Dec 26, 2023
Picks up sack in loss
Hargrave recorded three tackles (two solo) and one sack in the 33-19 loss to the Ravens in Week 16.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave's sack marked his seventh of the season. The defensive tackle was on the field for 43 snaps (67 percent), while also contributing on one special teams play (five percent). He will look to add to his sack total in Week 17 when the 49ers head to Washington to play the Commanders.
Dec 25, 2023
Cleared to play
Hargrave (hamstring) is active for Monday's matchup against the Ravens, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave was in danger of missing back-to-back contests after garnering a questionable designation, but he's been cleared to suit up and may see an increased role with Arik Armstead (foot) still sidelined. Before the hamstring injury, Hargrave recorded 17 tackles and three sacks over his previous four appearances.
Dec 23, 2023
Questionable with hamstring injury
Hargrave (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cam Inman of The Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave's hoping that his absence will be limited to one game. The 49ers will be without fellow defensive tackle Arik Armstead (foot), so both Javon Kinlaw and Kevin Givens would take on larger roles if Hargrave winds up sidelined or limited.
Dec 21, 2023
Misses practice
Hargrave (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
The same injury forced Hargrave to miss the 49ers' Week 15 win over the Cardinals. The defensive tackle has 40 tackles, including six sacks, and a pass defensed in 13 games this season. Javon Kinlaw is the next man up on the depth chart.
Dec 15, 2023
Will sit out Sunday
Hargrave (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash with the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave is dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice all week. As a result, he will miss his first game of the season. The 49ers will also be without their other starting defensive tackle, Arik Armstead (foot), on Sunday, leaving Javon Kinlaw, Kevin Givens and Kalia Davis to help secure the defensive line.
Dec 13, 2023
Starts week with DNP
Hargrave (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave was sidelined after suffering the injury Sunday against the Seahawks. He'll likely need to ramp up his activity level Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up in Week 15 against the Cardinals. If he ultimately ends up missing, Javon Kinlaw and Kevin Givens will likely see increased opportunities.
Dec 11, 2023
Chance to play Week 15
Head coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that Hargrave (hamstring) may "have a chance" to practice in the week leading up Week 15 against the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave had one tackle in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks before leaving with a hamstring injury and finished the game with one tackle. The 49ers were without Arik Armstead (foot/knee) for the game, so his and Hargrave's practice participation this week will be something to closely monitor. If one or both of the defensive tackles miss time, Kevin Givens and Javon Kinlaw are candidates to step into a starting role while Kalia Davis moves into a depth defensive tackle spot.
Dec 10, 2023
Leaves game with hamstring injury
Hargrave (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave had one tackle before exiting Sunday's game. With Arik Armstead (foot/knee) inactive and Hargrave on the sideline, the 49ers have Kevin Givens, Kalia Davis and Javon Kinlaw rotating at defensive tackle alongside Nick Bosa and Chase Young.
Nov 24, 2023
Continues impactful play
Hargrave racked up seven tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, against the Seahawks in Thursday's 31-13 Week 12 win.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave recorded a solo sack of Geno Smith in the second quarter and split a sack with Arik Armstead in the third. His seven total stops were a season-high mark. The veteran defensive tackle had a bit of a lull when he went four weeks without a sack from Week 5 to Week 8, but since San Francisco's Week 9 bye Hargrave has posted 3.0 sacks across three games.
Nov 14, 2023
Dominant at Jacksonville
Hargrave recorded four tackles (three solo) including 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 34-3 win at the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave made life very difficult for a middling Jacksonville interior offensive line in Week 10, having an even bigger impact on the game than his great box score would suggest. He's been plenty productive in his age-30 season, making him a rare example of a fantasy-relevant defensive tackle heading into a Week 11 matchup versus the Buccaneers.
Nov 12, 2023
Gets green light
Hargrave (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game in Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
A knee injury put Hargrave in danger of missing his first game of the season, but he will ultimately play through any issue. Look for him to take on his usual role on the 49ers' interior defensive line alongside Arik Armstead assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Nov 10, 2023
Questionable for Sunday at Jaguars
Hargrave (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Jaguars, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave is in danger of sitting out his first game this season as he works through a knee injury. If he can't go in Week 10, Javon Kinlaw will probably start at defensive tackle in his place.
Mar 13, 2023
Signing with Niners
Hargrave and the 49ers have reached agreement on a four-year, $84 million contract that includes $40 million guaranteed at signing, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave cashes in with a big contract for the second time in his career, after piling up 161 tackles and 23 sacks in 48 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia the past three years. Once known primarily as a run-stuffer, Hargrave has become one of the top interior pass rushers in the NFL and now will be paid accordingly by a team that looks to have the best D-Line in the league.
Jan 15, 2023
Finishes with 11 sacks
Hargrave finished the year with 60 tackles (37 solo) and 11 sacks.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave's sack total tied him for second on the Eagles and easily surpassed his previous career high of 7.5, set in 2021. He also recovered two fumbles (another career high) and forced one.
Jan 2, 2023
Grabs another sack Week 17
Hargrave recorded eight tackles (four solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave notched his 11th sack of the season when he brought down Saints quarterback Andy Dalton for a five-yard loss late in the first quarter. The seventh-year defensive tackle has also matched his previous career high for tackles with 35 now through 16 games. Hargrave should be in line to set a new career high during next week's regular-season finale against the Giants.
Dec 20, 2022
Gets to QB twice in Week 15
Hargrave recorded three tackles (two solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 25-20 victory versus the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave and Eagles edge rushers Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat all posted two sacks of quarterback Justin Fields, as the team continued to abuse opposing quarterbacks. The defensive tackle has now ranks second on the team in sacks this season between Reddick (12) and Sweat (9.5). This top-ranked group of pass rushers will look to keep up their run of dominance Week 16 versus Dallas.
Nov 16, 2022
Double-digit tackles in busy loss
Hargrave recorded 13 tackles (four solo), including one sack, during Sunday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave finished ahead of linebacker T.J. Edwards for a team high in tackles, as he played a season-high 66 defensive snaps with Philadelphia's defense on the field for much of this loss. The defensive tackle also increased his season sack total to seven, including six in the past three weeks. Hargrave should continue to provide consistent pressure up the middle while playing alongside Fletcher Cox this coming Sunday against the Colts.
Nov 4, 2022
Terrorizes Texans
Hargrave recorded seven total tackles and three sacks in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave benefitted from game script, as two of his three sacks came in the fourth quarter with the Texans attempting to make a comeback. However, the Eagles have regularly held leads this season and Hargrave has been able to rack up five sacks combined across his last two games -- both of which have been double-digit margins of victory. Across eight games on the campaign, he has 26 total tackles, six sacks and one forced fumble.
Oct 31, 2022
Two sacks in win
Hargrave recorded eight tackles (six solo), two sacks and one forced fumble during Sunday's 35-13 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave finished with a season-high eight tackles and recorded his first sack since Week 3. The veteran defensive tackle's first sack came at the end of the first half for an 11-yard loss while his second quarterback takedown was a strip-sack, which was recovered by Avonte Maddox, at the start of the fourth quarter. Across seven appearances, Hargrave has recorded 19 tackles, three sacks, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.
Sep 8, 2022
Logs a full practice
Hargrave (toe) practiced in full Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave sprained his toe in August, but his full participation during Thursday's session indicates the issue is a thing of the past. The 2016 third-round pick has displayed excellent reliability over the years, as he's played in 94 out of a possible 97 regular season games. Hargrave appears on track to reclaim a starting spot on Philadelphia's defensive line when the team squares off with the Lions on Sunday.
Aug 7, 2022
Sitting with groin injury
Hargrave isn't participating in Sunday's practice session due to a groin injury, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave is one of several Eagles who are absent from Sunday's practice session due to an injury. He appeared in 16 of 17 games last year and racked up 63 tackles (27 solo), 7.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense. It's not yet clear whether his groin injury will impact his preseason availability, but he's in line to serve as a starter on Philadelphia's defensive line if he's healthy to begin the regular season.
Jan 31, 2022
Progresses in 2021
Hargrave recorded 63 tackles (27 solo), 7.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense across 16 games in 2021.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave sat out the final game of the regular season since the Eagles had already clinched a playoff spot, but he still managed to record career-best marks in tackles and sacks during his second season in Philadelphia. He should continue to play a prominent role in the Eagles' defense during the final season of his three-year deal with the club in 2022.
Jan 8, 2022
Won't play Saturday
Hargrave (coach's decision) is inactive Saturday against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave will get the night off with the Eagles locked into a No. 6 or No. 7 seed in the NFL playoffs. With Hargrave sidelined, Hassan Ridgeway and Marlon Tuipulotu will see significant increases in work against the Cowboys.
Nov 11, 2021
Returns to practice
Hargrave was at full participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle was back at practice after sitting out Wednesday to rest his shoulder. Hargrave's return to practice all but confirms he'll be active Sunday against the Broncos.
Nov 11, 2021
Sits out practice
Hargrave (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the third consecutive week Hargrave has started out the week not practicing due to the shoulder issue, though he's avoided an injury designation for each of the past two games. It appears to be injury maintenance at this point, and the 28-year-old should return to the field Thursday or Friday.
Nov 5, 2021
Logs full practice Friday
Hargrave (shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers after logging a full practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave managed to play with a shoulder injury in the Eagles' Week 8 blowout win over the Lions. The defensive tackle hasn't missed a game this season and will look to suit up Sunday after practicing fully Friday. Hargrave will likely be replaced by Hassan Ridgeway if he is unable to play against the Chargers.
Nov 3, 2021
Unable to practice Wednesday
Hargrave (shoulder) was a non-participant for the Eagles' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave was able to play in the Eagles' Week 8 contest against the Lions even with his shoulder injury. The defensive tackle has had a strong season so far and will look to continue his stellar season Sunday against the Chargers. If Hargrave is unable to suit up for Week 9, expect Hassan Ridgeway to see an increased role.
Oct 29, 2021
Good to go against Lions
Hargrave (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the week but has healed up enough to avoid the team's final injury report. He'll continue to clog up the interior along Philadelphia's defensive line against the run-first Lions offense. Hargrave's on pace for the best season of his career, with six sacks and 39 tackles through seven games.
Oct 28, 2021
Returns to practice
Hargrave (shoulder) was able to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited fashion, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old was unable to practice Wednesday, so today's involvement is a good sign for his ability to play this weekend. On the season, Hargrave has 39 tackles, six sacks and a forced fumble through seven contests.
Oct 27, 2021
Misses practice Wednesday
Hargrave (shoulder) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle was added to the injury report Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Lions. His participation in practice Thursday will provide more insight to his availability. If he can't play, Hassan Ridgeway would see an elevated amount of work in Week 8.
Oct 15, 2021
Can't keep up sack streak
Hargrave had four tackles (three solo) during Thursday's 28-22 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave had notched a sack in four of five contests heading into Week 6, but he wasn't able to break through Tampa Bay's offensive line and get to Tom Brady during Thursday Night Football. His next opportunity to cause havoc will come Oct. 24 versus the Raiders.
Oct 14, 2021
Building up sack streak
Hargrave had three tackles (one solo) and a sack during the Eagles' win over Carolina in Week 6.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave has brought down an opposing quarterback in three straight contests, bringing his sack total to six through five contests. He will look to continue his streak against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
Sep 30, 2021
Tallies two sacks in loss
Hargrave had six tackles (four solo), two sacks and a forced fumble during Monday's 41-21 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave played 64 percent of the defensive snaps and added two sacks to his ledger on a day the Eagles defense got torched for 34 offensive points. The 28-year-old is enjoying a productive start to 2021 with 18 tackles (nine solo), four sacks and one forced fumble through three games.
Sep 21, 2021
Seven stops versus Niners
Hargrave managed seven tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 17-11 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave wasn't able to repeat upon his two-sack Week 1 performance, but he nonetheless delivered solid IDP output versus San Francisco. The 28-year-old will look to continue his effectiveness versus the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.
Sep 14, 2021
Two sacks in victory
Hargrave registered six tackles (three assists) and two sacks in Sunday's 32-6 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Both sacks came on fourth downs on successive drives in the fourth quarter as the Falcons were forced to go for it in order to try and claw their way back into the game. Nevertheless, it was a fine seasonal debut for Hargrave after an impressive camp and some doubt he might be ready after a recent ankle injury. The 28-year-old has never had more than 60 tackles or 6.5 tackles in a season.
Sep 8, 2021
Set to play Week 1
Hargrave (ankle) isn't listed on the Eagles' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Following a strong debut in training camp, Hargrave was forced to sit out of practice and rehab from his ankle injury over the past couple of weeks. While the injury did make the defensive tackle miss a preseason game, the injury won't affect his status for Week 1 against Atlanta.
Aug 22, 2021
Held out with ankle issue
Hargrave did not practice Sunday due to an ankle injury, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave has been getting strong reviews for his play thus far in camp, though he'll be slowed for some time. It's not clear how he picked up the injury, or how long he may be absent. For now, it doesn't appear as though the injury will have any impact his ability to participate in the regular-season opener Sept. 12 against Atlanta.
Aug 14, 2021
Looks strong in preseason
Hargrave has had a strong camp thus far and was one of the standouts of Thursday's preseason loss to the Steelers, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave looked like a free-agent bust early last season but came on late to finish strong. This preseason, he's been disrupting both the run and the pass. The 28-year-old put that on display Thursday night in his one series of action, registering a pressure and a hit on different plays against Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph.
Feb 5, 2021
Finishes 2020 with 4.5 sacks
Hargrave had 38 tackles (16 solo), 4.5 sacks, one defended pass and one fumble recovery across 15 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave finished with 22 less total tackles than he notched in with the Steelers in 2019 while logging only a half-sack more, numbers which severely hampered his fantasy utility in IDP leagues. The Eagles' salary cap situation could result in the team parting ways with a few other defensive linemen this offseason, so it's possible that Hargrave could see more opportunities in 2021.
Nov 23, 2020
Best tackling effort of 2020
Hargrave made seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave led all of Philadelphia's defensive tackles with a 73 percent snap share, and he capitalized on the extra reps with a season high in tackles. The 27-year-old posted 60 tackles with the Steelers last season, so he could put up a few more of these performances if given the opportunity.
Sep 18, 2020
Set for Week 2 debut
Hargrave (pectoral/hamstring) was a full participant in practice Friday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave was the big free-agent addition for Philadelphia's defense in the offseason but was forced to miss Week 1 due to multiple injuries. After being limited in his first two practices of the week, the 27-year-old was a full-go Friday, and he'll be in the starting lineup against the Rams on Sunday.
Sep 16, 2020
Held back Wednesday
Hargrave (pectoral/hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave didn't practice all week leading up to his absence in this past Sunday's loss to Washington, but he's off to a better start heading into Week 2's game versus the Rams. While he's on the right track, Malik Jackson and Hassan Ridgeway remain ready to fill in if Hargrave is ruled out again.
Sep 11, 2020
Won't face Washington
Hargrave (pectoral/hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week. His absence sets the stage for Hassan Ridgeway and Malik Jackson to handle additional reps against Washington during Sunday's divisional match.
Sep 9, 2020
Still not practicing
Hargrave (pectoral) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Hargrave is still recovering from the pectoral injury he suffered in training camp, and Wednesday's injury report additionally lists him with a hamstring issue. If the starting defensive tackle isn't able to suit up Week 1 against Washington, Hassan Ridgeway and Malik Jackson will be on hand to take additional work.
Aug 17, 2020
Dealing with injury
Hargrave is expected to miss multiple weeks with a pectoral injury, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how 27-year-old suffered the injury, but Frank reluctantly added that he could be out for a significant portion of time. Hargrave has improved year-over-year in each of his past four seasons with the Steelers before signing a three-year, $39 million contract with the Eagles, racking up 60 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble in 16 games last season. At this point, it's unclear whether Hargrave will be healthy enough to appear in the 2020 opener Sept. 13.
Mar 16, 2020
Inks three-year deal with Philly
Hargrave agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract with the Eagles on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2016 third-round pick spent the first four seasons of his career in Pittsburgh, and he totaled 60 tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble in 16 games last year. The deal includes $26 million fully guaranteed as Hargrave is set to anchor Philadelphia's defensive line over the next few years.
