What happened to Trevor Lawrence? Jaguars QB carted off the field after brutal hit vs. Texans

Things took a dramatic turn in Sunday's game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was carted off the field after a brutal hit from Texans defensive back Aziz Al-Shaair.

The incident occurred in the second quarter when Al-Shaair attempted a late slide, resulting in a severe hit to Trevor Lawrence's head. The incident led to a massive brawl on the field, with Jaguars players rushing to Lawrence's defense.

Al-Shaair was penalized and ejected from the game for the late hit. Per FOX, "Trevor Lawrence was hit late while trying to slide, which led to exchanges between Jags and Texans players." The skirmish erupted right by the Jaguars sideline, highlighting the intense emotions on both sides.

The Jaguars are already struggling this season with a 2-9 record, and losing their starting quarterback could be a significant blow to their chances of turning things around. Lawrence has been a critical player for the team, who has completed 168 of 274 passes for 2,004 yards, 11 touchdowns, and six interceptions this season.

The slide was seemingly late, putting the Texans's defensive back in a challenging position. However, current NFL rules do not allow such hits, especially on quarterbacks.

The game remains highly competitive and charged with tension. Houston leads Jacksonville, 6-0, late in the second quarter, and the incident will likely add an edge to the rest of the game.
