RB Ty Montgomery is supposed to be Green Bay's
bellcow at running back this season. But Montgomery had a rough
first outing, carrying the ball three times for zero yards and
losing a fumble. In all, the Packers rushed for just 47 yards on
18 carries (2.6).
Rookie second-round CB Kevin King had an up-and-down debut. King
allowed a 38-yard touchdown to Eagles' wideout Mack Hollins, but
led the Packers with four tackles and helped force a fumble of
tight end Billy Brown. King is battling for a starting
cornerback job opposite veteran Davon House.
Rookie WR Malachi Dupre suffered a concussion and left the game
on a stretcher after he was leveled by Eagles safety Tre
Sullivan. Green Bay third-year cornerback Damarious Randall also
left with a concussion, but both players were back with the team
Friday.
