Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair apologized Monday for his brutal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence amid reports that a suspension is likely coming from the NFL.Al-Shaair was ejected from Sunday’s win over the Jaguars after he delivered a blow to the head and neck of Lawrence, who had given himself up with a feet-first slide.”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 on Monday.ESPN reported that the NFL will likely suspend Al-Shaair, with the only question being for how long.With 4:15 left in the first half, Lawrence was carrying the ball and went into a feet-first slide at Houston’s 45-yard line when Al-Shaair launched into him, delivering a forearm shot near the quarterback’s head and shoulder.”It’s a play that has no business in our league,” Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told 1010 XL Radio after the game.Multiple skirmishes erupted as Lawrence lay prone on the field. Al-Shaair was ejected, along with Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones, while multiple penalties offsetting.Lawrence immediately displayed the hand motion known as a fencing posture that is associated with suffering a concussion. However, he was able to stand after being attended to briefly and he sat up while being taken to the locker room on a cart.
