Lambeau Field went silent Thursday night when former LSU WR Malachi Dupre suffered a vicious hit.
As you can see from the video below, Dupre’s head snapped back on the hit from the Eagles’ defender, and the play resulted in a fumble. He was carted off the field.
Thankfully, Dupre gave a thumbs up on his way to the locker room, which resulted in a big cheer from Packers’ fans. A few minutes later, the Packers officially updated his status.
WR Malachi Dupre has movement and feeling in all his extremities. He has been taken to a hospital for further evaluation #PHIvsGB
