Azeez Al-Shaair of the Houston Texans has been suspended for three games by the NFL for repeated violations of player safety rules, following a violent hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence that resulted in a concussion.
The NFL's Jon Runyan criticized Al-Shaair's actions, stating the hit was unacceptable and highlighted his history of personal fouls. Al-Shaair is appealing the suspension, while Texans GM Nick Caserio argues for consistency in league punishments.
Lawrence, who was injured during the game, displayed concerning symptoms after the hit. Al-Shaair has faced multiple fines this season for similar infractions, raising questions about player safety and discipline in the league.
