Texans Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair Fined $11,492 for Eye Black Message

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was fined $11,492 by the NFL for displaying an unauthorized message on his eye black during Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Al-Shaair wrote 'Hind Rajab' on his eye black to honor a 5-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza in 2024. The fine stems from league rules against unauthorized equipment messages. Al-Shaair, who recorded a team-high eight tackles in the game, previously received a similar fine last season.
