Violent hit on Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ‘has no business being in our league,’ coach says

Associated Press  

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Trevor Lawrence walked out of EverBank Stadium with his wife by his side and a smile on his face, a positive sign for the oft-injured Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback. “It’s a play that really has no business being in our league,” Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said following his team’s 23-20 loss Sunday. Lawrence clenched both fists after the hit — movements consistent with what’s referred to as the “fencing response,” which can be common after a traumatic brain injury. Like, he’s a smart player, really great leader for us.” Al-Shaair was ejected for “an illegal hit on the quarterback, unnecessary, to the neck and head area,” referee Land Clark said in a pool report. I don’t think that was his intent, and I pray that Trevor is OK and his family is right there with him.” Mac Jones replaced Lawrence and rallied the Jaguars in the fourth quarter.
