Former Green Bay Packers receiver Grant DuBose spent his rookie season on the practice squad before the Miami Dolphins signed him to their 53-man roster in August of this year. On Sunday, DuBose played his third regular season game for the Dolphins this season, but his time on the field ended with a horrific scene.

Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw a look route to DuBose across the middle of the field, resulting in a violent collision with Houston Texans rookie safety Caleb Bullock. After the goal, DuBose was shown in a frozen position on the CBS broadcast of the game. Bullock was cited for a blow to the head and neck area.

Medical staff and players surrounded DuBose as he remained on the ground, and it took 12 minutes before he was finally stabilized on a stretcher and carried off the field. His jersey and shoulder pads reportedly had to be cut off by medical staff due to the serious injury.

On Sunday, the Dolphins announced that DuBose’s injury was officially described as a head injury and that he was fortunately in stable condition at a Houston-area hospital. NBC’s Mike Florio said last night: Football night in America that the images Miami obtained of DuBose’s neck and head are “positive.”

Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill said after the game that DuBose was moving, which was great news. Hopefully DuBose – who was selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2023 draft – can make a full recovery.
