What happened: Hargrave is one of 15 players on Green Bay's 53-man roster who were not with the team in 2025. The 33-year-old defensive tackle joined as a free agent on March 13 and sat out the final two preseason games.

Why it matters: Green Bay kept seven defensive tackles, giving the staff several options for its interior rotation. Hargrave's pass-rush history could make his usage particularly important on passing downs.

By the numbers: Hargrave has recorded 432 tackles, 49 sacks, 59 tackles for loss and 84 quarterback hits across 146 games and 130 starts. From 2021 through 2023, he ranked tied for second among interior linemen with 25.5 sacks and first with 168 pressures.

What to watch: Green Bay's opening-week rotation will provide the first indication of Hargrave's workload and alignment.
