MIAMI GARDEN, Fla. – Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos was discharged from the hospital this weekend after staying admitted for several days.
A team source confirmed Matos’s release from Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been since the team’s first day of training, 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 the crowded offensive line.
The Dominican Matos played college basketball at New Mexico and South Florida before joining the USF American football team.
