Miami Dolphins receiver Grant DuBose was hospitalized in stable condition and undergoing further evaluation after being taken off the field on a stretcher following a helmet-to-helmet hit against the host Houston Texans on Sunday.

“There’s been some positive feedback related to some head and neck imaging,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. “He will stay here overnight, and we’ll find out more by (Monday.)”

DuBose tried to make a catch in the third quarter, but was hit in the head by rookie Calen Bullock before his head violently hit the turf. He appeared to clench both fists after the hit — movements consistent with what’s referred to as the “fencing response,” which can be common after a traumatic brain injury — before remaining motionless as medical personnel rushed to his side.

“Very tough to have seen live,” quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said. “I’m my toughest critic when it comes to ball placement, when it comes to knowing where to go with the ball and all that. I just feel bad that I even put him in that situation to have gotten hit. It was tough to move on after that happened.”

Bullock was given a flag for unnecessary roughness for hitting a defenseless receiver on the play.

“I was praying that he would be OK,” Bullock said. “I wasn’t trying to go out there and hurt nobody.”

DuBose remained on the field for more than 10 minutes as he was tended to by emergency medical personnel. His jersey was cut off him and a neck brace was put on him while players from both teams watched with concern.

DuBose was eventually put on a spine board where his arms and legs were strapped down and he was taken off the field. A tube of some kind was in his mouth and no movement could be seen as he was taken off the field.

DuBose, a seventh-round pick last season, returned Sunday after injuring his shoulder early in the season.

BROWNS’ CHUBB BREAKS FOOT: Nick Chubb has to make yet another comeback.

Cleveland’s star running back, who has inspired teammates by returning to play after a devastating knee injury last season, broke his left foot in the third quarter Sunday against Kansas City.

Chubb left Huntington Bank Field in a walking boot and on crutches.

It’s not clear exactly when Chubb got hurt. He picked up 8 yards on a carry early in the third quarter, just minutes after he had a ball go off his hands for an interception. On Cleveland’s next possession, he fumbled when Kansas City linebacker Leo Chanel punched the ball loose.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski thought Chubb got stepped on.
