Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair Facing Possible Suspension Following Ejection

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair delivered a late hit to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence after Lawrence began a slide to end a run play in the second quarter of Sunday's game.

Al-Shaair's violent blow to the head of the defenseless quarterback ignited a brawl as Lawrence left the field with a concussion. Al-Shaair, as well as Jaguars rookie cornerback Jarrian Jones, was ejected.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the NFL is reviewing the hit and that a suspension is expected for Al-Shaair, but the length of that suspension is yet to be determined.

Matt Thomas of "The Matt Thomas Show with Ross" and Dan Mathews of "The A-Team" review the play and debate the possible consequences Al-Shaair will face as the Texans enter a bye week prior to their Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
