Miami Dolphins’ Grant DuBose Taken Off Field on Stretcher After Tackle

As a devoted fan who has followed Grant DuBose‘s journey since his days at Auburn University, this news hits me hard. The young man from Montgomery, Alabama has shown nothing but determination and grit throughout his football career. From being drafted by the Green Bay Packers to joining the Miami Dolphins, he’s been a fighter through and through.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose is currently in the hospital following a head injury sustained during an NFL matchup.

During the third quarter of their matchup with the Houston Texans on December 15, the player was involved in a helmet-to-helmet collision with Calen Bullock, a Houston safety.

23-year-old DuBose was first tended to at the scene. They removed his facemask from his helmet and sliced through his jersey. Afterward, they placed him on a stretcher, secured with straps for arms, legs, and neck brace, as reported by several sources.

According to the Dolphins, Grant DuBose will not play due to a head injury. He’s currently in a stable state and being transferred to a nearby hospital for more tests.

As DuBose received treatment on the field, his teammates congregated nearby, forming a circle for a moment of shared prayer.

In a conversation with journalists following the game, it was shared by fellow Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill that we collectively hoped for his wellbeing as a team. At this moment, it appears he is in high spirits. The fact that he’s active and mobile is what truly counts.

Bullock, 21, was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play.

Originally picked by the Green Bay Packers in 2023, Dubose hailing from Montgomery, Ala., joined the Miami Dolphins in August for the first time. This was his comeback game with the team after sustaining a shoulder injury in September and being moved to the injured reserve list.

He played his initial match for the team since September, when he experienced a shoulder injury that put him on the injured list.

He admitted at the press conference that he is his own harshest judge when it comes to ball positioning and deciding where to take the ball. He expressed regret for putting someone in a situation where they got hit by the ball. It was hard for him to move past that incident. However, he recently heard some positive news: the person is recovering well.

Tagovailoa, who had experienced three diagnosed concussions over the past two years, including one during an NFL game in September, stated, “I’ve been through something quite comparable, and it’s definitely not enjoyable. No one wants to find themselves in such situations, but you also realize that this is a sport where physical contact is involved.

He added, “I just think of what I could have done to have not put Grant in that situation.”
