The Patriots’ preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday was suspended early following an injury to rookie cornerback Isaiah Bolden.
The injury occurred at the 10:29 mark in the fourth quarter when it appeared Bolden collided with a teammate. As soon as Bolden went down, Patriots players on the field called for the medical team.
Bill Belichick had extensive conversations with both Packers coach Matt LaFleur and Patriots captain Matthew Slater. It was later announced by referee John Hussey that both teams mutually agreed to suspend the contest. Fans gave an ovation following the official announcement.
