The NFL upheld the suspension on Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair for an illegal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence following his appeal.
Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair won't escape his three-game suspension after an illegal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The NFL upheld the suspension after Al-Shaair appealed it. 'Hearing officer Ramon Foster, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, has upheld the three-game suspension of Houston linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair,' NFL Senior Vice President of Football & International Communications Michael Signora wrote Wednesday in a post on X.
After the game, Al-Shaair also spoke out against 'racist and Islamophobic fans' in the aftermath of the public response to the incident. He has also apologized and insisted it was not on purpose. 'I’ve always played the game as hard as I could. Never with the intent to harm anyone and anybody that knows me knows that. My goal is to hit you as hard as I can then I pray you’re still able to get up and play the next play,' he said in a statement.
