The New England Patriots released a statement that says Bolden "had feeling in all his extremities, but has been taken to a local hospital for further tests and observation." The game was later suspended, and Bolden was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. This was the first game to be suspended since the prior season's Buffalo Bills–Cincinnati Bengals Week 17 game after Damar Hamlin's in-game collapse. The Patriots published a statement the next day reporting that he had been released from the hospital. He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on August 29, 2023.^[7]
