Initial reports had Dalton being examined at the scene by fire and emergency medical services after a vehicle collision near the intersection of Sardis Road and Providence Road. Dalton was in a vehicle with his wife, three children, and their dog. EMS did not transport anybody involved to a hospital.
Pictures shared on social media suggest that the collision was sufficient to deploy airbags but, again, nobody required transportation to a hospital by EMS. Today’s injury report will likely be the first place we hear any updates on Dalton’s status with regards to Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
