Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos remains hospitalized after he suffered an injury scare during Wednesday’s training camp. 

The 24-year-old was airlifted to a local medical facility after suffering an injury in the final few minutes of the first practice session of this year’s camp. 

Matos’ agent, Perlesta Hollingsworth, released an update on the tackle Thursday morning, telling the Miami Herald that his client has ‘an above the shoulder type injury.’ However, he didn’t provide any further clarity on the injury. 

Hollingsworth also noted that Matos has ‘some but not full movement in his right leg.’ The agent said: ‘It comes and goes.’

He went on to reveal that Matos sustained the injury after he bumped into one of his teammates.

‘He ran into a defensive lineman when his head was lowered and took the brunt of the impact,’ Hollingsworth said.

The Dolphins also released a brief update on Matos in a social media statement Thursday morning but did not shed any light on the specifics of the injury. 

‘Bayron Matos sustained an injury at the end of Wednesday’s practice and was transported to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he remained overnight for evaluation and testing,’ the statement read. 

‘He has movement in all extremities and is in stable condition. He will remain in the care of doctors for continued observation.’

The Dolphins suffered another major blow on Wednesday when veteran cornerback Artie Burns injured his knee at practice today and left on crutches.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Burns is feared to have a torn ACL but he’s now awaiting an MRI and second opinion to confirm.

Born in the Dominican Republic, Matos joined the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program and signed with the Dolphins last year.

He spent the season on Miami’s practice squad but would have been desperately trying to impress head coach Mike McDaniel in training camp. 

Matos is a 6-foot-7, 334-pound tackle, who previously played college basketball before switching to football.

His agent revealed Thursday that the tackle remained hospitalized in a brief update 

Elsewhere, the Dolphins placed recently signed тιԍнт end Darren Waller on the physically unable to perform list along with veteran guard Liam Eichenberg.

Waller came out of retirement last month to play on a one-year deal with Miami. He had announced his retirement last June after playing one season for the New York Giants.

Eichenberg, a starting guard last season, will likely be a backup in 2025 after the Dolphins signed James Daniels in free agency and selected rookie Jonah Savaiinaea the NFL draft.

Also Tuesday, the Dolphins signed offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill and waived quarterback Brett Gabbert. Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu was placed on the non-football injury list.
