Dolphins OL Bayron Matos airlifted: Heartbreaking scenes at Miami Gardens as injury scare hits Mike McDaniel's team

Bayron Matos got hurt at the end of Wednesday's practice at Hard Rock Stadium. It happened around 10:30 a.m. on the first day of training camp. He fell suddenly, and medical staff rushed to help. He was airlifted to a hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.

The team said he’s stable but didn’t give details about the injury.

Matos used to play college basketball at South Florida. He switched to football through the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program. He’s working hard to become the first player from the Dominican Republic to make an NFL team.
