Gets three-game ban for illegal hit The NFL announced Tuesday that Al-Shaair has received a three-game suspension for his violent hit on quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars, Ian Rapopor... Impact In its statement, the NFL said that Al-Shaair's suspension was in part imposed due to "repeated violations of rules intended to protect the health and safety of players." The 27-year-old linebacker had previously been fined for roughing the passer and facemask penalties in 2023 as a member of the Titans, and he also drew a fine for punching Bears running back Roschon Johnson in Week 2 and was assessed a 15-yard penalty for a late hit on Titans running back Tony Pollard in Week 12. Assuming Al-Shaair chooses not to appeal the suspension, he'll be eligible to return to action Week 18 in Tennessee. Devin White could be the next man up to pick up more snaps at linebacker alongside Henry To'oTo'o and Neville Hewitt while Al-Shaair is out of the lineup, though Houston could get Christian Harris (calf) back from injured reserve at some point after its Week 14 bye.
