Grant DuBose, a player for the Miami Dolphins, was injured on Sunday in a game against the Houston Texans after a helmet-to-helmet hit.
Grant DuBose did not move after the incident, and he was immediately taken to the hospital. The team confirmed that the player is in stable condition and able to check out of the hospital.
The incident occurred due to the hit by Calen Bullock, a player of the Texans, against DuBose, who stayed on the ground for almost 11 minutes while he was assisted by the doctors. They removed his helmet, facemask, and jersey to provide him medical attention.
DuBose was placed on a stretcher with a neck brace, and his legs and arms were strapped down before he was taken off the field.
At the moment that the player was down, his colleagues prayed together, and the coaches from the two teams shared a hug. Bullock was provided a penalty for unnecessary attack.
This game was the first that DuBose played in Week 2 after a shoulder injury. This is also his first season with the Dolphins.
