Texans' Al-Shaair Suspended 3 Games Amid Controversy Over Hit on Lawrence

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has been suspended for three games by the NFL for a hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which resulted in Lawrence suffering a concussion. The suspension is due to repeated violations of player safety and sportsmanship rules. Al-Shaair's actions included a forceful hit to Lawrence's head during a slide and subsequent unsportsmanlike conduct. He will be eligible to return after the Texans' Week 17 game, but can appeal the suspension.
