Grant DuBose stretchered off, remains hospitalized

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose was hospitalized and in stable condition after suffering a serious head injury during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, and he will not immediately travel back to South Florida with the team.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said there has been "positive feedback" after DuBose received head and neck imaging, but DuBose would remain in Houston overnight for additional evaluation.

DuBose was taken off the field on a stretcher after sustaining a hit to the helmet from Texans safety Calen Bullock on a pass attempt from Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter of Sunday's game. DuBose, 23, remained motionless on the field for roughly 11 minutes while receiving medical attention.

His facemask and helmet were removed by medical personnel before his jersey was cut off. DuBose was shirtless and wearing a neck brace before being placed on a spine board, strapped onto a stretcher and briskly wheeled to an ambulance and taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital.
