Andy Dalton is being evaluated by the Panthers medical staff after a car accident in Charlotte
Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton and his family were involved in a car accident in Charlotte on Tuesday, the Panthers announced in a social media post Tuesday afternoon.
“Dalton or his family were not transported by emergency medical personnel. Dalton is being evaluated by team medical personnel,” the agency said in a statement.
Dalton, 36, has played in six games and started five for the Panthers this season. The three-time Pro Bowler has thrown seven touchdowns against six interceptions since replacing former No. 1 pick Bryce Young at the quarterback position on Sept. 16.
During his 14-year NFL career, Dalton played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints in addition to Carolina.
As a collegian, Dalton finished ninth in Heisman voting in 2010 with TCU.
The Panthers are currently 1-6, last in the NFC South and three games behind the first-place Atlanta Falcons. They will have the second pick in the NFL draft when the season ends on Tuesday.
