The move all but ends Dubose's season - with only three weeks remaining in the season and players required to wait four weeks before returning from IR.

The 6-8 Dolphins are currently in ninth-place in the AFC playoff standings and are not likely to get to a playoff spot currently held by the 8-6 Los Angeles Chargers. Dubose suffered a horrifying head injury after trying to catch a 'hospital pass' from Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa against the Houston Texans.
Texans defensive back Caleb Bullock made contact with DuBose at full speed, leading to the barbaric collision. Medics rushed to help the stricken 23-year-old on the field in Houston, and cut off his jersey before putting him in a neck brace as teammates watched on.
Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose is carted off the field after being hit in the third quarter. The game was stopped for over 12 minutes while medics worked on DuBose, before he was carted off the field and transported to the local hospital. As they knelt over him, doctors reportedly unscrewed DuBose's helmet and applied an oxygen mask to the player.
He was hooked up to an EKG machine as he left on a backboard, with his neck in a brace. DuBose was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston and was reported to be in stable condition during the game. The team provided a further update on Monday morning.
'After sustaining a head injury in yesterday’s game, Grant DuBose remained at a local Houston hospital for evaluation overnight. He has movement in all extremities and initial tests have revealed positive results. He remains under the care of doctors for continued observation,' a team statement read.
