BOSTON — An injured New England Patriots defensive back, Isaiah Bolden, has been released from Green Bay Hospital after Frightening injury during pre-season Saturday night Game against Packers.

A Patriots spokesperson said Sunday morning that Bolden was detained overnight at Aurora Bay Medical Center in Green Bay.

As a result of the incident, the Patriots canceled their upcoming joint practices with the Tennessee Titans that were scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Instead, the team will train in Foxboro and fly to Nashville on Thursday in the season finale, one day later.

Cornerback thanked people for their support of X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.

Bolden was injured with over 10 minutes left in the game. After he was carried off the field on a stretcher, he was suspended for the remainder of play.

The rookie will travel to Foxboro with the Patriots on Sunday.

“We thank the medical staff at Aurora Bay Medical Center for their overnight evaluations, as well as the Patriots and Packers medical staff for their immediate field response and care in transporting Isaiah to a nearby hospital,” the team said.

Former Patriots and Super Bowl champion Jermaine Wiggins is now the head coach of Brockton High School. He said the hit is a reminder of how quickly things can change in the game and why player safety always comes first.

“The thing I pray before every game is to let everyone come onto the field and leave the field the way they came,” Wiggins said.

When it comes to high school football, Wiggins said, the MIAA has done a good job of limiting the number of full-contact teams you can have during practice.

“I think that’s the most important thing, educate them and teach them and then do it in a safe environment whether it’s handling exercises with bags.”
