Overview

  • Matos collided with a teammate late in Wednesday’s first training camp practice and received more than ten minutes of on-field medical attention before being airlifted by helicopter.
  • The 24-year-old offensive lineman is in stable condition and has regained full movement in all extremities after initially losing feeling on his right side.
  • He is undergoing additional evaluation at Jackson Memorial’s Ryder Trauma Center to determine the nature and extent of his above-shoulder impact.
  • Matos joined Miami through the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program on May 10, 2024, and spent the 2024–25 season on the practice squad without appearing in a regular-season game.
  • The rare use of air evacuation on the first day of camp highlights the seriousness of his injury and the prompt response of medical staff.
