Carolina Panthers starting quarterback Andy Dalton was in a car accident with his wife, three children and the family dog in the car this week, his team announced Tuesday.
The Panthers also stated that no members of the Dalton family were transported to the hospital as a result of the accident.
However, Dalton himself is being examined by team doctors, a Panthers spokesperson added.
Dalton married his wife Jordan in 2011 and the couple has two sons, Nash and Noah, as well as a daughter, Finley. The name and breed of the family dog are unknown.
Dalton took over as the Panthers’ starter in Week 3 replacing Bryce Young and has not relinquished the job despite the team’s one-win record.
