Patriots CB Isaiah Bolden released from hospital after suffering injury during preseason game

FOXBORO, MASS — New England Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden has been released from the hospital after suffering an injury during a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

According to a statement released by the Patriots, Bolden underwent a series of evaluations and was held overnight for observation.

The Patriots cornerback suffered a blow to the upper body that required the New England rookie to be stabilized on a board and carted off the field.

Bolden’s head collided with teammate Calvin Munson while pursuing Green Bay receiver Malik Heath with 10 minutes and 29 seconds remaining in the game. The 23-year-old defensive back immediately fell limp to the field.

“We thank the medical staff at Aurora Bay Medical Center for their overnight evaluations, as well as the Patriots and Packers medical staff for their immediate on-field response and care in transporting Isaiah to a nearby hospital,” the Patriots said.

According to the Patriots, Bolden will travel with the team on Sunday, and due to the circumstances surrounding the “abrupt and unexpected ending to last night’s game,” the Patriots will return to Foxboro on Sunday.

“The joint practices that were scheduled with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday and Wednesday are canceled,” the Patriots said in a statement.

The team will train in Foxboro this week and fly to Nashville on Thursday for Friday night’s game.

Bolden spoke on Twitter Sunday morning saying “Appreciate the prayers more excited to be back with the guys.”
