Andy Dalton’s wife shared an Instagram post revealing Andy’s current health status.
An American professional football quarterback, Andrew Gregory Dalton, 37, born on October 29, 1987, is playing for the Carolina Panthers of The National Football League (NFL).
Highlights
- Luckily, Andy and his family didn’t suffer a severe injury during an accident.
- Andy’s wife, Jordan, gave a health update on the family through her Instagram handle.
- He suffered a sprained thumb, which kept him from the Panthers’ practice sessions.
He played college football for the TCU Horned Frogs, where he became the school’s leader in quarterback wins and won the 2011 Rose Bowl.
Later, he was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft.
During his first nine seasons with the Bengals, Dalton led the team to five consecutive playoff appearances from 2011 to 2015 and received three Pro Bowl selections.
In his first season, he and wide receiver A.J. Green set records for completions and yards by a rookie quarterback/receiver combination.
Despite his regular-season success, he went winless in the playoffs and was released by the Bengals in 2020 after four consecutive losing seasons.
Dalton spent his next three seasons alternating as a starter and backup with the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, and New Orleans Saints for one year each. In 2023, he joined the Panthers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton was involved in an automobile accident in Charlotte on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
Dalton, his wife, their three children, and a pet dog traveled west on Sardis Road near Providence Road, about seven miles from Bank of American Stadium, when the accident occurred.
Emergency medical personnel did not transport anyone involved in an accident to the hospital. His team’s medical staff is evaluating Dalton.
It is unclear who was driving Dalton’s vehicle or if any other vehicles were involved. He was fortunate to avoid significant injuries but suffered a sprained thumb.
The Panthers have not released any further injuries yet, so no official word is on Dalton’s health.
Dalton, a second-round pick by the Bengals, has thrown for 989 yards, seven touchdowns, and six interceptions while starting for the Panthers.
Head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Bryce Young will start Sunday’s game against the Broncos while Dalton recovers from the sprained thumb.
It will be Young’s first start since the first overall pick of the 2023 draft was benched heading into Week Three.
Dalton will try to practice later in the week and could be the backup this weekend.
