JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair issued an apology Monday morning over his late hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence during Sunday's game.

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair is facing a potential suspension by the NFL for his illegal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence on Sunday, according to ESPN.
