Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose was carted off the field during the team’s 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday after taking a severe blow to the head. DuBose, who was attempting to catch a pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter, was hit helmet-to-helmet by Texans rookie safety Calen Bullock. The impact forced DuBose to the ground, and Bullock was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play.
DuBose was immediately attended to by medical staff, who spent more than 10 minutes assessing his condition on the field. His jersey was cut off, his facemask was unscrewed, and a neck brace was applied before he was carted off to an ambulance. As DuBose was receiving treatment, players from both teams gathered on the field, some visibly praying for his well-being.
DuBose was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, where he remains in stable condition. The Dolphins confirmed that he will undergo further evaluation.
After the game, Tagovailoa shared an update, saying DuBose is “doing well” and is “recovering.” The quarterback also expressed concern over his role in the incident, reflecting on his pass placement. “I’m my toughest critic when it comes to ball placement,” Tagovailoa said. “I just feel bad that I put him in that situation to get hit. It was tough to move on after that happened… but you understand that this is a physical sport.”
The Dolphins and Texans community continues to send their thoughts and prayers to DuBose for a speedy recovery.
