Caeleb Dressel crashed his motorcycle on a grassy median in late June and was questionable to compete at the U.S. Swimming Championships in late July, according to Dan Hicks on NBC Sports.

“It wasn’t anything too big,” Dressel said. “I had a gentleman pull out in front of me, so I had to avoid him. … Nothing major [of the injuries]. A few minor things. Other than that, I was fine. … I think the accident was as lucky as I could have gotten with it. It maybe, maybe didn’t interfere with my training.
