Bayron Matos discharged after injury in Dolphins training
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos was discharged from the hospital this weekend after being hospitalized for several days.
A team source confirmed Matos’s discharge from Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been since the team’s first day of training on July 23. He was airlifted to the hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center after suffering an injury in the final minutes of practice. The 24-year-old player had movement in all his limbs the next day, but remained under observation for an upper body injury.
Matos joined the Dolphins last season as part of the International Player Pathway Program and spent the year on the practice squad. He signed a futures/reserve contract with Miami in January and was expected to compete for a spot on a highly contested offensive line.
Born in the Dominican Republic, Matos played college basketball at New Mexico and South Florida before joining the USF football team.
