The Miami Dolphins have offered an update on Grant DuBose after the wide receiver was hospitalized on Sunday.

DuBose was hit hard after he caught a pass over the middle of the field during the third quarter of the Dolphins’ 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. After he laid motionless on the turf for several seconds, trainers and medical personnel cut DuBose’s jersey off and unscrewed his helmet to remove it. He was then taken off the field on a stretcher and admitted to a local hospital.

DuBose did not fly with the Dolphins back to Miami on Sunday. However, the team said on Monday that the 23-year-old has movement in all of his extremities after he sustained a head injury. Tests have “revealed positive results,” but DuBose remains under the care of doctors.
