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.


Dolphins quarterback Daunte Culpepper has informed the Associated Press via e-mail that he sustained no serious injuries in a Wednesday night auto accident.

"I am fine," he said. "The real problem is that the guy damaged my 1975 convertible Caprice Classic."

Culpepper suffered a bruise to the top of his left hand, and precautionary X-rays were negative. He throws a football with his right hand.
