Texans LB addresses 'dirty' hit on Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence 

"I genuinely didn't see him sliding until it was too late. And it all happens in the blink of an eye," Al-Shaair said in a statement on his X account. "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 out 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.'"

The apology may not change sentiments about Al-Shaair's hit. Per ESPN's Michael DiRocco, Jaguars tight end Evan Engram said it was "dirty."

"It's not what we're coaching," Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said in a postgame news conference. "I didn't want to see the melee and all of the aftermath. It's not what we're about. It's not representative of us. I'll talk to Azeez, address him personally, and we'll move forward from it."

In a Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears, Al-Shaair punched Bears running back Roschon Johnson in a sideline fight. The league fined him $11,817 for hitting Johnson. 

Following his second incident, anticipate the NFL disciplining him again. Per The Washington Post's Mark Maske, the league is reviewing the hit, which could result in a suspension or fine.
