Patriots release statement on injured cornerback Isaiah Bolden

Saturday night's preseason game between the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers was suspended early in the third quarter, when Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden had to be carted off the field after suffering what appeared to be a severe injury. Shortly following the end of the game, the Patriots released a statement on Bolden's condition.

"Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden sustained an injury during the fourth quarter of tonight’s game," the team's statement reads. "He had feeling in all his extremities, but has been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation."

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick spoke about Bolden's injury after the game. "We’ll regroup and talk about the game later. That’s kind of where things are for right now," Belichick said. "Unfortunate what happened there at the end. Hopefully, Isaiah will be alright. That’s really about all I got." Belichick also applauded the league decision to suspend the game.

"Right now our primary concern is Isaiah, his well-being, and our whole team is praying for him," special teams captain Matthew Slater said. "He's been a joy to be around. He's a young man with a lot of talent, he's a young man that always has a smile on his face."
