Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was suspended by the NFL without pay for three games Tuesday for repeated violations of player safety rules following his hit to the head of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence , which led to a concussion. Al-Shaair's punishment was announced by NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan.
