Bolden suddenly collapsed on the pitch during the fourth quarter as medical team arrived on the scene amidst serious concerns between players and staff.
The team declared that the cornerback had felt ill prior to the incident. Stacey James, the club’s spokesperson, declared that the player will be held at the hospital in Green Bay for further observation.
Update on his condition will be provided on Sunday morning.
“We’re just keeping our fingers crossed,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.
Bolden collided with teammate Calvin Munson while attempting to make a hit on a pass completion to Malik Heath of the Packers.
“It looks like just one of those collision hits, those freak hits that you see on rare occasions in this league, that you hate to see,” Mills said.
