Carolina quarterback Andy Dalton was back at the Panthers facility on Wednesday, just a day after getting ‘banged up’ in a car accident.
Dalton’s wife, their three children, and the family dog were also caught up in in the crash, which was announced by the team on Tuesday.
The quarterback was checked out by Panthers doctors following the incident. But on Wednesday, he was spotted arriving for practice.
Dalton wore his No 14 jersey but he did not train alongside his teammates ahead of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
‘Thank you to everyone for checking in on our family and for your prayers! We’re a little banged up but we are BEYOND thankful for the Lord’s protection over our family yesterday!’ Dalton’s wife Jordan wrote on social media.
