Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence exited Sunday's game against the Houston Texans early after ending up on the receiving end of a scary and dangerous hit to the head from linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair.
While attempting to pick up some yards with his legs during the second quarter, Lawrence began to slide in order to avoid contact near the sideline. Despite Lawrence giving himself up, Al-Shaair dove and hit him head-on with a blatantly illegal hit. Lawrence was carted off the field and Al-Shaair was ejected.
A few hours after the game, Lawrence took to social media to provide an update on his status and thank fans for their well wishes.
"Thank you to everyone who has reached out/been praying for me. I’m home and feeling better. Means a lot, thank you all," wrote Lawrence on X, formerly Twitter.
