Andy Dalton appears to have escaped serious injury despite leaving Thursday night's preseason finale against the Colts early with a bruised arm.

Marvin Lewis says Dalton is "fine" and would have returned had it been a regular-season game.

Dalton was hit by Robert Mathis and others on Cincinnati's sixth offensive play. Initially, he stayed down, then got up and walked toward the sideline where he dropped to the ground again.
