Narrative:
Taxiing in on tango; we were to follow another aircraft on taxiway papa. We began our taxi to follow the other aircraft; and at that point another aircraft was exiting runway 10 at delta. I then became concerned by his landing lights restricted visibility. We were not sure of the aircraft exiting runway 10 of his intention. As we continued our taxi; we felt a non-level surface that caught our attention; and we proceeded to the gate. I then proceeded to do a walk around inspection and noticed there was dried dirt on the aircraft wheels. I called maintenance and they did an inspection and found no damage. A logbook entry was made. There was no ATC inquiry and all passengers exited normally.
