“Neither Dalton nor his family were transported by emergency medical personnel. Dalton will be evaluated by the team’s medical staff,” the Panthers announced.

Dalton has been the Panthers’ starting quarterback since head coach Dave Canales moved on from 2023 No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young before Week 3.

Dalton made the first start for Carolina and threw for three touchdowns and 319 yards to defeat the Las Vegas Raiders.

Carolina’s most recent loss was a road game against the Washington Commanders, in which Marcus Mariota filled in for the injured Jayden Daniels. Still, the Commanders had an easy path to victory with a final score of 40-7.

With a 1-4 record as a starter this season, Dalton has totaled 989 yards with seven touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 66.3% of his passes.
