What happened to Isaiah Bolden?
When a legal pass was received by the receiver, the Green Bay Packers were facing a 3rd-and-7 situation at the 25-yard line. He left the field to grab a first down as several Patriots players gathered. Isaiah Bolden and Calvin Munson were two among them.
Bolden swung low to make the tackle, but Munson was coming across the runner to try and make the tackle when he collided with his teammate’s head. The medical team had to arrive right away since the injured rookie collapsed and did not get up.

In the 2023 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected Isaiah Bolden. The player from Jackson State was chosen 245th overall in the 7th round of the draft. There were rumours that he was going to sign with them in free agency after having previously visited the team.
However, the Patriots were impressed and did not want to wait until the end of the draught in case another team selected him. During the preseason, he had the opportunity to impress his superiors and get on the team. Before he was chosen, scouting reports from all throughout the league made note of his physical characteristics. He possesses good ball skills, pace, route reading, and backpedalling ability. He is tall and athletic. He is reportedly a trustworthy returner as well, so that was another factor in his favour.
What is the situation now?
Bolden was hurt with just over ten minutes remaining in the contest. When he was taken off the field on a stretcher, the game was called off. The defensive back for the New England Patriots, has been released from a Green Bay hospital after suffering a horrific injury during Saturday night’s preseason game against the Packers.
Bolden was kept to Aurora Bay Medical Centre in Green Bay for overnight observations, according to a Patriots official on Sunday morning.
