— Former Duke University quarterback Anthony Boone remains hospitalized at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte after colliding head-on with Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson Sunday morning in Weddington, according to hospital officials.

Boone’s agent, Adam Sattler, said Friday that the former Blue Devil is recovering from surgery to repair his non-throwing hand and hip. Sattler added that Boone may be released in a matter of days, but no official timetable for his discharge has been made available.

Sattler said Boone has been able to get out of bed this week but has required a walker for maneuverability.

“You’re a professional athlete and now you’re stuck so to speak, without the ability to walk,” he said.

According to the incident report, Thompson's 2016 Chevrolet SUV crossed the center line in a curve while traveling south on Potter Road around 7:45 a.m. Thompson swerved right in an attempt to get back in his own lane but collided head-on with Boone's 2004 Lexus SUV in the center of the road.

“He’s just happy to be alive, and now he’s waiting for the next steps he has to go through,” Sattler said.

Boone, who was recently cut form the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, was on the way to work out at D1 Charlotte, a sports training and therapy facility, at the time of the wreck.

Sattler said Boone tried out in North Carolina for the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos the day before the wreck.

Officials said Thompson reached for his cell phone after dropping it on the floorboard, which caused him to cross the center line and collide with Boone.

Thompson had alcohol in his system at the time of the crash, but it was not a factor in the wreck, according to a Union County Highway Patrol spokesman.

Authorities said Boone and Thompson were not together Sunday morning and that it was a coincidence that both are football players.

“It’s just crazy. What are the chances with two football players who don’t know each other?” Sattler said.

Officials said Thompson refused medical attention at the scene and returned home. Thompson was seen Monday at Carolina Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert’s charity golf tournament.

Hospital officials said Friday that Boone was listed in “good condition,” at Carolinas Medical Center.
