Dolphins WR Grant DuBose to return home after hospital stay

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose is expected to return home Wednesday after spending three days in a Houston hospital, head coach Mike McDaniel said.

DuBose was hospitalized after taking a blow to the head from safety Calen Bullock of the Texans with 9:34 left in the third quarter of Sunday's game, won 20-12 by Houston.

Medical personnel working on DuBose cut his uniform top off and placed the 23-year-old on a board before putting him on a stretcher. He was wheeled off the field and taken to Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center.

"Expecting him to travel home today," McDaniel said Wednesday. "Haven't seen him, talked to him, and we're all just very, very excited to get to see him. He's been on the constant mind of a lot of people. And, yeah, he's doing well, taking it a day at a time."

DuBose was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

He was just activated off injured reserve due to a shoulder injury and Sunday marked his third game of the season. He had one catch for minus-2 yards against the Texans. It was his second career catch.

DuBose was a seventh-round pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2023. He was released shortly before this season and claimed by Miami.
