Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was carted off the field and later ruled out with a concussion after Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair delivered a late, hard hit while Lawrence was sliding in the second quarter of Sunday’s matchup.
Immediately after the hit, while Lawrence remained on the ground, Jaguars tight end Evan Engram shoved Al-Shaair in retaliation, igniting a fight between Jaguars and Texans players while medical personnel attended to Lawrence.
Al-Shaair and Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones were ejected from the game for unnecessary roughness and Engram was given a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness.
Trevor Lawrence was hit late while trying to slide, which led to exchanges between Jags and Texans players.
Prior to the injury, Lawrence had 41 passing yards on 4-of-10 passing with an interception.
