SIGN UP The fight moved to the Jaguars' sideline as trainers tended to Lawrence, who was quickly ruled out with a concussion.
Lawrence sat up and rode in the front of the cart into the locker room as Mac Jones took over at quarterback for the remainder of the game.
As a result of the altercation between the two teams, Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones was also ejected along with Al-Shaair. Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was given an unnecessary roughness penalty after he immediately charged at Al-Shaair following the hit.

The Texans led the Jaguars 6-0 late in the first half of the AFC South matchup when Lawrence was injured.
