Miami Dolphins receiver Grant DuBose was stretchered off the field during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the host Houston Texans after taking a hard helmet-to-helmet hit while trying to catch a pass.
DuBose was down on the turf for close to 15 minutes after taking a blow to the head from safety Calen Bullock of the Texans with 9:34 left in the third quarter. Bullock was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play.
DuBose’s head also hit the ground hard and it was immediately apparent he was badly injured.
Medical personnel working on DuBose cut his uniform top off of him. They eventually placed the 23-year-old on a board before putting him on the stretcher and wheeling him off the field. His arms were strapped to his side.
The Dolphins immediately ruled DuBose out for the game with a head injury. Per the team, he is in stable condition and being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
After about 10 minutes of DuBose being worked on, the Miami players got together near the sideline, formed a big circle and kneeled in prayer.
DuBose was just activated off injured reserve due to a shoulder injury and Sunday marked his third game of the season. He had one catch for minus-2 yards against the Texans. It was his second career catch.
DuBose was a seventh-round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2023. He was released shortly before this season and claimed by Miami.
