Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair Fined $23,186 for Unnecessary Roughness

Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has been fined $23,186 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness/use of the helmet in last week's game against the Chargers, despite not being flagged on the play. This marks his third fine of the season for an illegal hit, following previous penalties for hitting a defenseless receiver and roughing the passer. Last season, Al-Shaair was suspended three games for a hit that concussed Trevor Lawrence.
