listen live to weei 93.7:
The Patriots' second preseason game versus the Packers on Saturday night was suspended with 10:29 left due to an injury to cornerback Isaiah Bolden. The defensive back collided with linebacker Calvin Munson on a tackle attempt and laid motionless while team trainers and NFL officials tended to him.
The team issued a statement late Saturday night, clarifying that 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."
On Sunday morning, the team released a promising update regarding the rookie's health, including that he has been released from the hospital and will travel back to Foxborough with the Patriots. From Patriots PR:
"Update on the condition of Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden:
After undergoing a series of evaluations and being held for overnight observations, Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden has been released from the Aurora Bay Medical Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he was transported to after sustaining an on-field injury in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s preseason game between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers. Isaiah will travel with the team today. We thank the medical staff at Aurora Bay Medical Center for their overnight evaluations, as well as the Patriots and Packers medical staffs for their immediate on-field response and care in transporting Isaiah to a nearby hospital.
Due to the circumstances surrounding the abrupt and unexpected ending to last night’s game, the Patriots will return to Foxborough today. The joint practices that were scheduled with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday and Wednesday are cancelled. The team will train in Foxborough this week and fly to Nashville on Thursday for Friday night’s game."
Updates on Bolden will continue at WEEI.com.
