Javon Hargrave dealing with a pectoral strain that will sideline him ‘multiple weeks’

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without star defensive tackle Javon Hargrave for “multiple weeks” and according to ESPN’s Tim McManus, a pec strain or pulled chest muscle is the cause.

With the season opener against the Washington Football Team set for less than a month from now, the Eagles will likely take every precaution as they work to get the big free-agent signee ready for the games that count.

Derek Barnett is week to week with a lower-body injury as well as the Eagles held their first padded practice of the season on Monday.
