Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair is being suspended by the NFL after leaving Trevor Lawrence motionless on the ground with a vicious tackle on Sunday.
Al-Shaair sparked outrage in the Texans’ 23-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars after flying elbow first into Lawrence, despite the rival quarterback sliding to give himself up on the play.
And after he was kicked out of the game, ESPN’s Adam Schefter now claims the Texans star will face a suspension.
It is currently unclear how long he will be suspended for, but the NFL is expected to take tough action after the illegal tackle caused Lawrence to be carted off the field with a concussion.
