Miami Dolphins receiver Grant DuBose seriously injured against Houston Texans
Miami Dolphins receiver Grant DuBose was seriously injured during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texas.
DuBose was taken to a hospital where he was reported in stable condition with a head injury.
DuBose, who came off the injured reserve list on Saturday and activated for Sunday’s game, was hit hard by Texans safety Calen Bullock at the 9:34 mark of the quarter as he went after a slant pass from Tua Tagovailoa. Bullock was flagged for hitting a defenseless player.
DuBose was on the field motionless for several minutes, surrounded by medical personal, Coach Mike McDaniel and teammates. His jersey was cut off and they took off his shoulder pads. His neck was placed in a brace and he was placed on a backboard and taken off the field on a cart.
He’s a first-year veteran out of North Carolina-Charlotte.
The Dolphins already were thin at receiver on Sunday after cutting Odell Beckham Jr. last week. Also, receiver Jaylen Waddle suffered a knee injury during the second quarter and was still out of the game in the second half.
