Duryea was hurt during the opening stages of Saturday's contest at Ikon Park when he was under the weight of a tackle from Kangaroos co-captain Jy Simpkin.
The 31-year-old was taken to the change room after the incident as play carried on through the first quarter.
Duryea was later put in a neck brace by Bulldogs medical staff as a precaution and taken to hospital for scans.
The Bulldogs also lost Ed Richards to a corked thigh during the first quarter.
Duryea, who has played 172 games, was a two-times premiership player at Hawthorn before joining the Bulldogs at the end of 2018.
