Last season, the NFL experienced something that they never want to happen again with an injury so bad, it forced a game to be called – and it’s already happened before the new season has started.
During Saturday night’s preseason Week 2 game between the Patriots and Packers, New England cornerback Isaiah Bolden collided with a teammate in a scary helmet-to-helmet hit that left Bolden motionless on the turf.
With 10:29 left on the clock in the 4th, both teams dropped to a knee after medical personnel rushed to Bolden, who was placed on a backboard and onto a stretcher and carted off the field.
After discussion between the league and teams, the game was called.
The Patriots released a statement that says Bolden “had feeling in all his extremities, but has been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation.”
Bolden will be held overnight in a Green Bay hospital for further evaluation.
