Dolphins Camp Opens With Injuries and Roster Moves

The Miami Dolphins' 2025 training camp began amid significant turmoil, highlighted by a serious injury to offensive lineman Bayron Matos, who was airlifted to the hospital and remains in stable condition. Tight end Darren Waller, returning from retirement, and guard Liam Eichenberg were both placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, with Eichenberg expected to serve as a backup this season. Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu was placed on the non-football injury list, while the team signed veteran lineman Daniel Brunskill and waived quarterback Brett Gabbert. On the field, wide receiver Erik Ezukanma and running back Jaylen Wright impressed with strong performances, but tight end Tanner Conner struggled with a fumble, and cornerback Artie Burns also suffered an injury. These developments have raised concerns about the Dolphins' depth and resilience as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team is focused on managing health and roster challenges as training camp progresses.
