Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans took the opportunity on Tuesday to defend linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, who was suspended by the NFL for three games after leveling a violent hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence during the team's Week 13 win.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans suggested Trevor Lawrence was partially to blame for the concussion he suffered following a huge hit from Azeez Al-Shaair.

After Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was knocked out of Wee 13's game by a scary hit, the Texans coach backed his player.
