Trevor Lawrence's teammate fined for attacking Azeez Al-Shaair after illegal hit

FOX Sports' Tom Brady joins Colin Cowherd to dive into Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair's illegal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

The NFL fined Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram for retaliation against the player who delivered a season-ending hit to quarterback Trevor Lawrence. 

Engram was fined $11,255 after attacking Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair in retaliation for his hit on Lawrence in the second quarter of Sunday's game, according to NFL.com. 

Engram was the first Jaguars player to go after Al-Shaair after the hit, as players from both teams swarmed to the area of the hit.

"It was a dirty hit," Engram told reporters after the game. "In that moment, instinct was just, it didn't feel like a clean hit, so I had to go stand up for my quarterback. 

"I just knew it was wrong. It was a dirty play. You stood up for your guys. It's just how it goes."

While Engram was fined, Al-Shaair was suspended three games without pay. The NFL has said the linebacker's involvement in the brawl played into the discipline. 

Lawrence sustained his second concussion in a year from the hit and was placed on injured reserve. The quarterback will undergo shoulder surgery for an injury he initially sustained in Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
