The New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers had their preseason game Saturday night ended early in the fourth quarter after rookie Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden absorbed a hit from a teammate that led to him being immobilized, placed on a stretcher and carted off the field.
The Patriots said Bolden "had feeling in all his extremities, but has been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation."
"We're all saying a prayer for Isaiah," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "Appreciate the way the league handled it. I think that was the right thing to do.
