Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair is going to be suspended for his actions against Trevor Lawrence.

Lawrence suffered a debilitating injury in the second quarter. Al-Shaair struck him high as he began to slide, causing the quarterback’s head to slam into the turf.

The 25-year-old was helped onto a cart and ruled out with a head injury.

ESPN reported that the NFL will likely suspend Al-Shaair, with the only question being for how long.

Adam Schefter wrote, “It is now anticipated that Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair will be suspended for the hit that he delivered Sunday to Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence.”

The controversial play sparked a fight between the two teams, which had one player on the Jaguars ejected along with Azeez Al-Shaair.

Trevor Lawrence updated his condition Sunday night in an X post, saying he was “home and feeling better” and thanking fans for their prayers.

Joe Mixon ran for 101 yards and a touchdown, Nico Collins caught eight passes for 119 yards, and the Houston Texans beat Jacksonville 23-20. C.J. Stroud completed 22 of 34 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown.

Lawrence was 4-of-10 for 41 yards and had an interception on his return to play on Sunday.

Houston Texans Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair Apologizes To Trevor Lawrence

Azeez Al-Shaair apologized Monday for his brutal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Al-Shaair was ejected from Sunday’s win over the Jaguars after he shockingly launched his body into the head and neck of Lawrence, who had given himself up with a feet-first slide.

Lawrence’s head bounced off the turf, and his hands went into a fencing position.

“I genuinely didn’t see him sliding until it was too late. And it all happens in the blink of an eye. To Trevor I genuinely apologize to you for what ended up happening. Before the game we spoke and I told you how it was great to see you back on the field and wished you well. I would never want to see any player hurt because of a hit I put on them, especially one that’s deemed ‘late’ or ‘unnecessary,’” Al-Shaair posted to X and his Instagram stories.

Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

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.”
