Dolphins' Bayron Matos injured at practice, transported by helicopter to hospital
Briefly

Dolphins offensive tackle Bayron Matos was injured at the conclusion of training camp practice and taken to a hospital by helicopter, where he is in stable condition. It is unclear how the injury occurred. Offensive tackle Austin Jackson expressed that injuries are a heartbreaking aspect of football. Practice duration was less than 90 minutes and Matos's injury did not cause its conclusion. Matos, a 6-foot-7, 334-pound player from the Dominican Republic, is unlikely to make the 53-man roster yet received significant repetitions during practice.
It's just a really heartbreaking part of the game, honestly. Really tough.
Matos, a 6-foot-7, 334-pound native of the Dominican Republic, joined the Dolphins as a member of the international player pathway program.
His injury isn't the reason practice ended, the team said.
Matos is a longshot to make the 53-man roster but got a decent amount of repetitions Wednesday.
