New England's preseason game with the Green Bay Packers was called off on Saturday night after Patriots rookie cornerback Isaiah Bolden was carted off the field early in the fourth quarter.
Bolden, a seventh-round pick from Jackson State, appeared to collide with teammate Calvin Munson while attempting to make a hit on a pass completion to Green Bay's Malik Heath. As medical officials treated Bolden, both teams left their respective sidelines and got on the field, with some players getting on one knee.
After Bolden was carted off the field, the two teams conferred and decided not to continue the game. The game stopped with the Patriots leading 21-17 with 10:29 left in the fourth quarter.
The Patriots said after the game that Bolden had feeling in all his extremities, but had been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation.
The Patriots said in a statement Sunday that Bolden had been released from the hospital "after undergoing a series of evaluations and being held for overnight observations," CBS Sports reported. The Patriots said he would travel back to Foxborough, Massachusetts, with the team Sunday.
The Patriots' scheduled joint practices with the Tenessee Titans on Tuesday and Wednesday were canceled, the team said.
The last time an NFL game was suspended due to injury was when Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after taking a blow to the chest during a Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals this past January.
Hamlin made a full recovery, and saw his first NFL action since the incident in a preseason game last week against the Indianapolis Colts.
