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.
After being ruled out with a head injury, DuBose remained at a local Houston hospital for evaluation overnight, the Dolphins said Monday.
Miami Head Coach Mike McDaniel and Houston Head Coach DeMeco Ryans embraced while DuBose was still down.
