Returns with goal Dotson scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 win over New England Revolution. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 56th minute.

Impact Dotson's first appearance back from a one-game suspension saw him score another goal. This means he has scored at least once in back-to-back games. The defensive midfielder has recently added value in more ways than one with his goal-scoring, and he's been relatively efficient, with only four of his 13 shots this season on target and three goals to his name. On the defensive side of the ball, Dotson has 32 clearances, 24 tackles and 22 interceptions.

Suspension cleared Dotson's one match suspension for yellow card accumulation has now been served.

Impact Dotson had missed the match against Kansas City after picking up his fifth yellow card in 16 appearances, an absence that came not long after his return from a hamstring injury. His return to availability now positions him to continue pushing for a regular role in central midfield after his recent goal against Minnesota United.

Impact Dotson picked up his fifth yellow card in 16 matches, which will see him serve one match suspension against Kansas City. Having recently returned from a hamstring injury, the midfielder has started just twice in the last six appearances, managing to score once on five shots on target with 12 clearances, five interceptions, and four tackles. He looks to return back to the rotation for center midfield, especially after his recent goal.

Sidelined once again Dotson has sustained a hamstring injury and will miss around two to three weeks, manager Brian Schmetzer told Jackson Felts of 93.3 KJR.

Impact Dotson finished Seattle's last game with the injury, and further tests will leave him sidelined for the next couple of weeks. Dotson's next chance to return could come as early as Aug. 16 against the Whitecaps following the opening phase of the Leagues Cup, but it wouldn't be surprising if he needs more time to regain his full fitness.

Scores in Thursday's loss Dotson scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 5-1 defeat against Portland Timbers.

Impact Dotson scored a fairly meaningless goal Thursday, a header in the 87th minute which cut the Portland lead to 4-1. It marked his first goal of the season and it came on his first shot on target of the campaign. He also created two chances for the second time this season. While he put up decent defensive numbers, his side allowed 10 shots on target and five goals in a dismal return to MLS play following the World Cup break.

JULY 17 • Associated Press

Available as substitute Saturday Dotson (concussion) has made the match squad as a substitute option for Saturday's clash with Houston Dynamo.

Impact Dotson could feature for the first time in almost one month, having cleared the concussion protocol during the last week. The midfielder was quite active in the initial stages of the campaign, averaging 23.7 passes, 2.0 tackles and 2.0 ball recoveries per game. He should be a decent alternative to Snyder Brunell in Nikola Petkovic's (knee) absence going forward.

Nearing return Dotson (concussion) could return in upcoming weeks after manager Brian Schmetzer said he "is probably close as he's trying to get out of that concussion protocol", Jackson Felts of...

Impact Dotson will aim to be an option after the international break following a two-game absence due to concussion protocol. The midfielder made three straight starts at the beginning of the season, so he could be a solid alternative to Nikola Petkovic and Snyder Brunell as soon as he's fit, but his production may be limited to passing and defensive numbers.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

In concussion protocol Dotson is now in concussion protocol following a knock in the last match against St. Louis, coach Brian Schmetzer said Tuesday, per Niko Moreno of Pulso Sports.

Impact Dotson had avoided the protocol earlier in the season but ultimately suffered a new blow. He's now set to miss the next visit to San Jose Earthquakes, where Cristian Roldan and Snyder Brunell may start in holding midfield. Dotson played 215 minutes over the first three MLS games of the year, recording six tackles in that span.

Starting Saturday Dotson (head) is in the starting lineup to face Real Salt Lake on Saturday.

Impact Dotson won't see his involvement limited after avoiding the concussion protocol despite leaving the previous match with a head injury. The midfielder will aim to make an impact through accurate passes and ball recovery stats while forming a holding midfield pairing alongside Cristian Roldan. Meanwhile, Snyder Brunell will have to wait for an opportunity on the bench.

Impact Dotson won't face a forced absence, but his status is still a doubt ahead of the next visit to Real Salt Lake. He started as part of a two-man defensive midfield alongside Cristian Roldan in the previous game, and that spot could be taken by Snyder Brunell in case the injury requires more time to heal. If fully fit, Dotson could aim to get plenty of time on the field, racking up passes and defensive stats.

Bench option Saturday Dotson (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's trip to Colorado Rapids.

Impact Dotson was sidelined for six months with an issue that originally placed him in the season-ending injury list. However, he managed to recover earlier than expected and could earn a role in the final stages of the campaign. For now, he's a candidate to replace Wil Trapp and Nectarios Triantis in the central midfield zone.
