Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos was injured at training camp Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Fla., and airlifted to a medical center, the team said.
The Dolphins said Matos is in stable condition. No specific timetable for return was provided.
A source told UPI that Matos was involved in a collision with a teammate and suffered loss of feeling in his right side. Results from a CT scan and MRI aren’t yet available, but those close to the 24-year-old are praying for a full recovery and return to camp soon.
Dolphins players practiced for less than 90 minutes on their second day of training camp at the Baptist Health Training Complex.
Matos signed with the Dolphins on May 10, 2024, as part of the NFL’s international player pathway program. He spent the 2024-25 season on the practice squad.
The 6-foot-7, 334-pound offensive lineman is a Los Mina, D.R. native. Matos played football and basketball collegiately at South Florida and New Mexico.
The Dolphins will continue training camp through the next several weeks before taking on the Chicago Bears in their preseason opener Aug. 10 in Chicago.
