Summary

Story summary

Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was fined $23,186 for unnecessary roughness in a game against Chargers.
It is his third fine for illegal hits, including a defenseless receiver hit against the Broncos and roughing the passer vs. the Titans.
Last season, Al-Shaair faced a three-game suspension for a hit that concussed Trevor Lawrence of Jacksonville Jaguars.
Despite the fines, his three-year, $34 million contract makes the penalties relatively minor for him.
