Word had come out during wildcard weekend that he wouldn't have been ready for NE if they would have beat the Steelers. You have to wonder if he would have played at all this post season.
Of course with the probowl not a real game, maybe there just wasn't a hurry to clear him medically right now.
We don't know if Dalton was cleared, actually. The medical staff doesn't have to release that to the public once the season ends. Which is why none of us know how serios Giovani Bernard's concussion is.
From what I saw, Dalton turned down the invitation due to fear of re-injuring his thumb.
