He collided with Texans defender Calen Bullock and was left motionless on the floor.
CBS cut away from the NFL game and didn’t show a replay of the incident.
But the game was held up for almost 10 minutes as medics rushed to treat him.
DuBose’s jersey was cut off him and he was placed onto a stretcher.
His facemask and helmet were removed by medical staff.
And medics placed him on a spine board before strapping him into a stretcher and taking him off the field.
His teammates all circled round and prayed as he was being tended too.
Coach Mike McDaniel was seen on the CBS feed looking emotional as it played out.
The 23-year-old was given a standing ovation as he left the field on a stretcher.
The Miami Dolphins later shared a health update on the young wide receiver.
They said, “Dolphins WR Grant DuBose has been ruled out with a head injury.
“He is in stable condition and being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.”
DuBose’s teammates described the worrying scene after the game.
“It was scary,” wide receiver Tyreek Hill said.
“Just being on the field, seeing it, and then actually seeing one of your brothers laying the way he was laying, it’s scary.
“People don’t understand the sacrifice that we have to make to play this game, that we put out bodies through.”
And quarterback Tua Tagovailoa added, “I’m my toughest critic when it comes to ball placement – when it comes to knowing where to go with the ball.
“I just feel bad that I even put him in that situation to have gotten hit.
“I heard some good news that he’s doing well, he’s recovering, but we all know I’ve gone through something very similar and that’s no fun
“You never want to be put in any of those situations. But you also understand that this is a physical sport, it’s a contact sport.
“And again, I just think of what I could have done to have not put Grant in that situation.”
DuBose, 23, is a second-year receiver in the NFL.
