Trevor Lawrence is finally breaking his silence.
A huge hit from Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair on the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback sparked a brawl during their game on Sunday.
Lawrence scrambled on first down in the second quarter, but as he tried to slide to avoid getting hit, Al-Shaair launched into Lawrence’s head and neck area, and it bounced off the ground and knocked him unconscious.
The quarterback was down as Jags and Texans players brawled over the hit.
Al-Shaair was also seen removing his helmet and trying to fight with Jaguars offensive lineman Brandon Scherff.
He then had Jaguars fans throwing items at him after he was ejected.
Hours after the game, Trevor Lawrence took to social media and finally had something to say. He thanked everyone who reached out and prayed for him.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out / been praying for me. I’m home and feeling better. Means a lot, thank you all🙌🏼”

Lawrence eventually got on his feet but still got carted off.
He was 4-for-10 with 41 passing yards and an interception in the game.
This exit from the game was disappointing since Lawrence had just returned from injury.
How Long Will Trevor Lawrence Be Out?
The Jacksonville Jaguars entered Week 13 against the Houston Texans with a 2-9 record, but they were hoping to play spoiler against a Texans team that tends to play down to their opponent.
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who missed two games due to a shoulder injury, resumed his starting role against the Texans, but now he may be out yet again after he got knocked unconscious by linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair.
Lawrence was ruled out with a concussion after taking a late hit in the team’s game against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday.
Now, he will most certainly hear into concussion protocol and is likely going to miss at least one game.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
