GREEN BAY – The hit knocked the air out of the thousands huddled into Lambeau Field for the Packers’ preseason opener against Philadelphia two weeks ago.
Amidst stunned silence, rookie receiver Malachi Dupre lay motionless on the field after taking a hit from Eagles safety Tre Sullivan following his 8-yard catch at the start of the fourth quarter.
With his brother and cousin in attendance, Dupre raised a hand to tell the crowd he was OK, but looking back, he admits he didn’t come to until the sirens woke him up during the ambulance ride.
