“Neither Dalton nor his family were transported by emergency medical personnel. Dalton is being evaluated by team medical personnel,” the Panthers announced.

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

Dalton had a first-ever start for Carolina, throwing for three touchdowns and 319 yards to defeat the Las Vegas Raiders.

Carolina's most recent loss was a road loss to the Washington Commanders, where Marcus Mariota had to replace 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.
