Jags' Trevor Lawrence (head) carted off; ejections follow
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16) warms up before an NFL football matchup Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024 at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. [Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union] Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was carted from the field in the second quarter of Sunday's home game after a brutal hit by Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair.
Lawrence, who was returning from a Week 9 injury to his non-throwing shoulder. was ruled out for the game with a head injury.
With 4:06 left in the first half, Lawrence was carrying the ball and went into a feet-first slide at Houston's 45-yard line when Al-Shaair launched into him, delivering a forearm shot near the quarterback's head and shoulder.
Multiple skirmishes erupted as Lawrence lay prone on the field. Al-Shaair was ejected, along with Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones, while multiple penalties offset.
Lawrence immediately displayed the hand motion known as fencing that is associated with suffering a concussion. However, he was able to stand after being attended to briefly and sat up while being taken to the locker room on a cart.
Lawrence was 4-for-10 passing for 41 yards and an interception. Mac Jones, who started the last two games while Lawrence was out, took over at QB.
