Azeez Al-Shaair

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports “it is now anticipated that Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair will be suspended” for the hit he put on Trevor Lawrence in Week 13’s win over the Jaguars.

Schefter added that “the only question is for how long” Al-Shaair could be suspended. The Texans linebacker delivered a brutal shot to the head of a sliding Lawrence on Sunday that immediately placed the quarterback in the league’s concussion protocol. It wasn’t the first time a hit by Al-Shaair was drawn into question, as so many pointed out via social media. Al-Shaair posted an apology to Lawrence on Monday, we’ll see if that bears any weight on whatever punishment the league decides to hand down in the coming days.
