Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose suffered a direct hit to the head Sunday against the Houston Texans and left the field immobilized on a stretcher.

He was diagnosed with a head injury and taken to a local hospital in Houston for further evaluation. The Dolphins announced at the time that his condition was stable.

The Dolphins did not provide a clear update on his status after the game. According to ESPN, head coach Mike McDaniel said there was some “positive feedback” following the head and neck imaging and that DuBose will remain in Houston overnight for further care and evaluation.

DuBose remained on the field for several minutes while receiving medical attention after the hit. Dolphins players knelt together and surrounded Dubose as he received treatment.

During treatment, medical staff cut off DuBose’s jersey and removed his helmet. They placed him on a backboard and placed several straps around his body, securing his arms to his body. His neck was placed in a splint and he had an oxygen tube in his nose as staff rolled him off the field on a stretcher.

According to footage from the CBS broadcast, DuBose showed no movement as he was rolled off the field. It is unclear whether he was conscious.

The hit occurred in the third quarter when the Texans were ahead 20-6 in their 20-12 win. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa targeted DuBose with a pass over the middle of the field on second-and-9.

When the ball arrived, Texas safety Calen Bullock lowered his helmet and made direct contact with DuBose’s head.

DuBose went limp and lay on his back immediately after the hit. Officials punished Bullock for unnecessary rudeness.

Bullock spoke to reporters after the game about the hit.

DuBose, 23, is a second-year pro who spent his 2023 rookie season on the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad after being selected in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. He played in college at Charlotte.

The Packers released him in August and the Dolphins claimed him off waivers. He has played in two games with Miami this season and made one catch for 13 yards. On Sunday, he made one catch before leaving the game because of his head injury.
