Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose was hospitalized overnight after a helmet-to-helmet hit during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, the Dolphins said Monday. DuBose attempted to make a catch in the third quarter, but got hit in the head by Texans rookie Calen Bullock before his head forcefully hit the ground. DuBose seemed to clench his fists after the hit, demonstrating the 'fencing response,' a common movement after a traumatic brain injury, according to NFL.com.
Bullock received a flag for unnecessary roughness for hitting a defenseless receiver on the play. After being ruled out with a head injury, DuBose remained at a local Houston hospital for evaluation overnight, the Dolphins said Monday. He has movement in all extremities and initial tests have revealed positive results, but he remains under the care of doctors for continued observation. During his treatment on the field, the Dolphins kneeled in a circle and seemed to be praying.
