GREEN BAY – Packers receiver Malachi Dupre was back at work Friday.
That was good news considering not long ago the rookie seventh-round draft pick was being immobilized and wheeled out of Lambeau Field after taking a wicked hit from Eagles safety Tre Sullivan on a slant pass in the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s preseason opener.
Mike McCarthy announced that Dupre is in the concussion protocol, but the head coach did not indicate he had additional injuries. Dupre spent the night in a local hospital for evaluation but was released Friday morning.
Third-year cornerback Damarious Randall is in the concussion protocol as well after going down due to a crack-back block from Philadelphia receiver Bryce Treggs on a running play in the first quarter.
