PRE-SEASON INJURY

Miami Dolphins Player Airlifted to Hospital After Training Camp Injury

The offensive lineman suffered undisclosed injuries on the first day of the Dolphins’ training camp.

Miami Dolphins football star Bayron Matos was airlifted to hospital after suffering an unknown injury during training camp practice Wednesday. The offensive lineman is currently in stable condition, according to the team. While details surrounding the injury are unknown, the Miami-Herald reported that it appeared to be a result of an “inadvertent collision” with a teammate. The team was training at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida when Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was called to the scene. The football player was on the field being attended to by medical officials for more than ten minutes before a helicopter transported Matos to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Fellow offensive lineman Austin Jackson described the incident as “very tough.” “It’s a really heartbreaking part of the game,” Jackson said. Matos, 24, went undrafted in 2024 until he joined the Dolphins through the International Player Pathway Program. This year will be the second NFL season for the football star, but Matos has yet to play in an NFL game.
