Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos sustained an undisclosed injury late in the team's first training camp practice and was transported to a local hospital via helicopter.

Matos, 24, is in stable condition, per the team.

Born in the Dominican Republic, Matos joined the NFL International Player Pathway Program after playing one season of college football at South Florida in 2022. He walked on to the team after never having played organized football and saw brief action in two games.

He began his college experience in 2020-21 playing basketball at New Mexico, then transferred to South Florida the following season. He appeared in 28 games (four starts) and averaged 1.5 points and 2.7 rebounds over 10.6 minutes per game for the Bulls.

Matos, who is listed at 6-foot-7 and 334 pounds, signed with Miami last year and spent the 2024 season on the team's practice squad.
