It may just be pre-season, but it's still football. And that means, it can be brutal.
Green Bay Packers rookie Malachi Dupre took a brutal hit from Philadelphia Eagles safety Tre Sullivan in Thursday night's game, and he didn't get up right away.

NFL analyst Ross Tucker had this to say:
Packers WR Malachi Dupre just took most vicious hit I've seen in a long time. Good gracious. He's still down. Prayers up.
