Impact Mattison suffered a neck injury during Sunday's preseason tie against the Bears that required surgery, and will cause him to miss the entire 2025 season. It's encouraging that Mattison may be back in action for the 2026 campaign, though given that he inked only a one-year deal with Miami this offseason, it's likely that his next opportunity will come with another organization. With Mattison on IR, both second-year pro Jaylen Wright and rookie sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon benefit from a clearer path to touches behind starter De'Von Achane.

Alexander Mattison's 21-yard catch and run sets Dolphins up inside the 5-yard line Miami Dolphins' running back Alexander Mattison sets up his offense inside the Chicago Bears' 5-yard-line with a 21-yard catch and run.

AUGUST 10 • NFL.COM

Exits Sunday's game Mattison went to the locker room during Sunday's preseason game against the Bears due to an apparent head injury, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Impact Mattison was tackled and thrown to the ground head-first early in the fourth quarter, which prompted trainers to check in on the veteran running back. He was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his own power, but he's unlikely to return to Sunday's exhibition game, which opens the door for Ollie Gordon to lead the backfield down the stretch. If Mattison doesn't return, he'll finish with three carries for eight yards and a touchdown along with one catch (on two targets) for 21 yards.
