The New England Patriots have released an update on the health status of injured cornerback Isaiah Bolden.
Saturday’s preseason game was suspended early after Bolden was taken out on a stretcher, following a scary collision with his own teammate. The rookie defensive back laid on the ground motionless with Patriots and Packers players around him, kneeling in prayer.
Both teams agreed to call an end to the game in the fourth quarter given the seriousness of the situation.
“Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden sustained an injury during the fourth quarter of tonight’s game. He had feeling in all his extremities, but has been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation,” the statement from the Patriots read.
