NFL World Prays For 23-Year-Old CB Who Was Stretched Off Field, Creating Huge Waves of Concern

A terrifying injury to Isaiah Bolden, a rookie cornerback for the New England Patriots, brought an early end to their preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. Bolden was hit in the side of the helmet by his own teammate while trying to stop a Packers player. He fell to the ground and did not move for several minutes.

The coaches of both teams, Matt LaFleur and Bill Belichick, agreed to suspend the game out of respect for Bolden. Referee John Hussey announced the decision to the fans at Lambeau Field around 10:00 p.m. local time.

Official update on Isaiah Bolden’s condition

Immediately medical staff rushed to 23-year-old Cornerback’s aid and players from both teams surrounded him. Some of them knelt down and prayed for his safety. Bolden was finally taken off the field on a stretcher and sent to a nearby hospital. The game was called off with 10:29 left in the fourth quarter and the Patriots ahead 21-17. The Patriots were declared the winners by default.

The good news is that Bolden is doing well and has been released from the hospital. The Patriots said that he had feelings in all his extremities and was undergoing further tests and observation. A Twitter user named ‘Savage’ also reported that Bolden did not sustain a spinal cord injury and was traveling with the team back to Foxboro.

Responses from fans pour in

The injury to Bolden is a sobering reminder of the risks that football players face every time they play. Many NFL athletes are young men who are willing to sacrifice their bodies for the game they love. Some fans expressed their gratefulness for their courage and reacted to the incident.

Some people think preseason games aren’t necessary after this incident: “This is why pre season is not needed man. Prayers.” Another unfortunate incident after Damar Hamlin, fans suggest treating these situations with more importance: “after damar we really gotta take this stuff seriously”
