Jaguars star taken away during wild scene against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Trevor Lawrence left the field in a frightening scene Sunday.

After a late hit by Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, Lawrence remained on the ground for an extended period before getting into a cart to take him off the field. He was immediately replaced on the field by Mac Jones and ruled out with a concussion.

Lawrence was sliding during a scrimmage when Al-Shaair delivered a late hit near the head zone, leading Jaguars tight end Evan Engram to push Al-Shaair from behind. The two began fighting before other Jaguars and Texans players joined in, with the fight continuing on the Jaguars sideline.

After a long break, the field cleared and Lawrence was taken off the field before being sent off. Al-Shaair and Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones were both ruled out before a second fight broke out in the Jaguars end zone.

As Lawrence was carried off the field, the Jaguars crowd erupted into chants of “Trevor.”

Lawrence missed the Jaguars’ losses in Weeks 10 and 11 due to a left shoulder injury, an injury he suffered in the first half of Week 9. Lawrence finished the game, but would be then limited to training the entire week leading up to the week. 10 before being kicked out of the match.

Lawrence began practicing in a limited capacity this week and was deemed questionable for the game, but the Jaguars and head coach Doug Pederson always intended for Lawrence to be able to start after receiving the bulk of the first team representatives in training during the week. .
