The dolphins this morning provided a positive update about receiver Grant DuBose, who suffered a serious head injury during Sunday’s game in Houston. Coach Mike McDaniel explained the situation during his usual press conference on Monday.

“We will be excited to see him when the doctors deem it appropriate for him to fly,” McDaniel told reporters. “I would also like to commend the entire training staff – both ours and the Texans’ and the physicians involved – for handling a situation the way they did. It was imperative for him.

McDaniel also addressed the emotional realities for the rest of the team resulting from the nature of the injury and the concerns surrounding it.

“I think the only way you can get through something like this is with your teammates,” McDaniel said. “I think we needed each other back then, and you also have in the back of your mind that you know Grant and what would make him proud and exactly the person that he is, so you try to please him and.” the team and the situation. Ultimately, there is no real right answer. Last night I said, you have to somehow lean on the factors that come with your responsibility to a lot of different people.”

The consequences of a serious injury are always unpleasant. The player is properly looked after and the game continues. This should have happened almost two years ago after the Damar Hamlin incident because it always happens.

The player receives attention on the field, is removed from the field and the rest of the players continue playing. The Hamlin situation was so bad that the usual approach had to be reversed. In the vast majority of situations, the show goes on.

It’s difficult for everyone, especially the players. They witness a very real example of the risks of the sport they play, and then take the same risk for the rest of the game.
