The NFL has suspended Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair for three games due to a dangerous hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The incident occurred during a game where Lawrence sustained a concussion after being hit while sliding.

NFL officials criticized Al-Shaair's actions, emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship and player safety. Following the hit, a brawl broke out on the field, leading to Al-Shaair's ejection. Despite the controversy, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans suggested some responsibility lay with Lawrence. Al-Shaair is eligible to return after Week 17 but may appeal the suspension.
