PFT said:CULPEPPER INJURES HAND IN CAR CRASH
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper suffered a hand injury in a Wednesday night automobile accident. The crash occurred on the Sawgrass Expressway, and it involved two vehicles. Both cars rolled off of the road.
Culpepper complained of a hand injury to paramedics. It's not known whether he injured his left hand or his right hand. More details are expected to become available later in the day.
The Dolphins have been trying to trade Culpepper, but the quarterback has asked to be released. The NFL Players Association filed a grievance on his behalf earlier this week, due to the refusal of the Dolphins to allow him to participate in team drills during a recent minicamp.
If the hand injury prevents Culpepper from playing football, the team can cut him with no financial obligation or the team could put him on the non-football injury/illness list, and pay him nothing.
Not clear whether it's his throwing hand or not. But it would be ironic if Culpepper ended up on the NFI list, rather than in a Jags uniform (or any other, for that matter).
