Azeez Al-Shaair has sparked a major debate in the NFL after a late hit on Trevor Lawrence, quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Following the incident, the Texans player was suspended for three games.
The punishment was condemned by Houston’s coach, DeMeco Ryans, as well as by the team’s general manager, Nick Caserio. As a result, they decided to appeal the controversial verdict.
Because of the hit to the head and neck area, the Jaguars confirmed that Lawrence will be sent to IR and his season could be officially over. Meanwhile, the NFL has already announced a final decision after hearing Al-Shaair’s arguments.
