The New England Patriots ruled out Tre Nixon before the start the third quarter of Saturday night’s preseason game Lambeau Field.
The wide receiver went down with 1:09 remaining prior to halftime after extending for a deep pass down the right sideline into triple coverage by quarterback Bailey Zappe.
Green Bay Packers safety Anthony Johnson Jr. broke up the target in the process of inadvertently landing on Nixon, who remained down on the field while clutching his right shoulder.
Head coach Bill Belichick and wide receivers coach Troy Brown were among those to check on Nixon as he was being attended to by the team’s training staff.
