Carolina Panthers quarterback was in a car accident on Tuesday afternoon in Charlotte, as confirmed by a team representative. Dalton was traveling west on Sardis Road near Providence Road, about seven miles from Bank of America Stadium, with his wife, their three children, and their dog when the accident occurred.
Thankfully, none of the passengers required hospitalization, according to emergency responders. However, Dalton is being assessed by the team’s medical staff to ensure he is okay. The team spokesperson reported no immediate concerns.
Currently, no additional information has been released about the accident, and it is uncertain whether Dalton will be able to play in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. The team is expected to provide updates as more details emerge.
At 36, Dalton has faced challenges since becoming the Panthers’ starting quarterback, holding a 1-4 record after taking over from rookie Bryce Young. Following the team’s recent 40-7 loss to the Washington Commanders, head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Dalton will continue as the starter for the upcoming game against the Broncos.
