Patriots cornerback Isaiah Bolden was accidentally knocked out by his teammate early in the fourth quarter. Bolden remained motionless on the ground after Patriots linebacker Calvin Munson hit Bolden in the head while tackling Packers receiver Malik Heath.
Medical personnel rush to Bolden as both teams kneel. Matthew Slater led some players from both teams in prayer.
Eventually Bolden was placed on a backboard and placed on a stretcher and carried off the field.
The Patriots released a statement saying Bolden “has feeling in all of his extremities, but was taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation.”
Patriots coach Bill Belichick and Packers coach Matt LaFleur interacted with officials after Bolden left the field, and the game was called with 10:29 left in the fourth quarter.
“By mutual agreement of the teams, tonight’s game between the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers has been suspended,” the teams announced.
