The remainder of the Patriots' second preseason game versus the Packers has been canceled.
Following a play where rookie Isaiah Bolden went down with an injury, both teams agreed to suspend the rest of the game.
On a contested pass, Bolden collided with linebacker Calvin Munson. He laid motionless on the ground as team trainers and NFL officials tended to him.
The cornerback was immobilized and taken off the field on a stretcher as officials and both team's head coaches called off the contest. According to WBZ’s Steve Burton, Bolden’s eyes were closed as he was taken off at Lambeau Field.
Below is a statement from the team:
"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."
Updates on the situation will continue here at WEEI.com.
UPDATE (12:39 a.m.): From the Patriots: "Cornerback Isaiah Bolden will be held overnight at a local hospital in Green Bay for observation. To set expectations, we plan to provide an update on his condition by 8 a.m. on Sunday."
