A lot of Pat's fans down here today, getting their final year before the season at the pro shop, but the talk was all about Isaiah Bolden.
There's a slam, slam. In front of Bolden. Shot by Heath and Bolden to shake it up. We don't know what Isaiah Bolden's injury was, but when you see that happen, you assume two things. It's either a neck injury or a brain injury. And it appears that he's been released from the hospital.
It was not a spinal injury. We'll probably learn his traumatic brain injury to start a reminder that this is a very dangerous game. Chris Nowinski has a PhD in neuroscience and is the CEO of BU's Concussion Legacy Foundation. It's a reminder that the preseason is the most dangerous time to playing football, according to statistics, because everyone's fighting for a job. Isaiah Bolden and the Pat's return to Gillette this afternoon from Green Bay, even before he left Lambeau, Bolden spoke to his fans on social media saying, appreciate the prayers, more excited to be back with the guys. Unfortunately, part of the game, a little bit scary considering the DeMar Ham one thing last year. Hopefully not a sign of things to come, but we'll see.
And he came home with the team. Yeah, that was good to see. Yes, obviously surprised, but glad to hear that he was all right. Super sad, super freaky. I'm glad they called it when they did. I think that's the right thing to do. And I don't know, just praying for the best.
Now both those teams' joint practices were canceled in Tennessee, but both teams will play their final pre-season game Friday night in Nashville. Live outside of Gillette, I'm Ted Wayman, WCVB, New Center Five.
Fans and experts are expressing concern over Isaiah Bolden's injury and the dangers of playing football. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with the sport, particularly during the preseason.
