Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence Insists He’s ‘Way Past’ the Violent Hit From Houston’s Azeez Al

Wednesday, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said `I'm past that, way past that at this point in my life` and he doesn't want to relive the hit as Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair returns to Jacksonville.
After the December incident, Azeez Al-Shaair apologized to Trevor Lawrence via social media and was suspended without pay for three games due to repeated player-safety violations.
After the play, NFL VP Jon Runyan called Azeez Al-Shaair's `lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football` troubling, and Al-Shaair was ejected amid a sideline brawl involving Lawrence, who was ruled out with a concussion.
New Jaguars coach Liam Coen said he doesn't expect retribution when the Houston Texans visit Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, noting Houston's rare playoff potential despite a tough start.
Players offered contrasting perspectives ahead of Sunday’s game as Azeez Al-Shaair said he faced abuse and a "really dark place" during suspension, while Trevor Lawrence emphasized proving himself weekly.
