Sawt Falasteen - Jags' Lawrence exits with concussion after ugly hit

Lawrence was sliding to a stop on a six-yard scramble when Al-Shaair slammed into his head, leaving the Jags quarterback visibly shaken and teammates angry.

As a mass shoving match ensued not far from where Lawrence was lying on the field, Jacksonville cornerback Jarrian Jones was also thrown out of the game for his role in the fight and Jacksonville tight end Evan Engram was penalized for unnecessary roughness.

Things heated up again briefly when Al-Shaair and Jacksonville guard Brandon Scherff traded words as Al-Shaair was being escorted off the field.

Teammates restrained Al-Shaair as he tried to go after Scherff.

It's not the first time this season that Al-Shaair has been involved in an onfield altercation.

In September he escaped a suspension after punching Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson, although he was reportedly fined $11,000 by the NFL.

That incident came after Al-Shaair hit Bears quarterback Caleb Williams along the sideline as Williams was headed out of bounds. When several Bears players complained, Al-Shaair punched Johnson's facemask.

Lawrence left Sunday's game sitting up in a cart but was soon ruled out for the rest of the contest.

He had just returned to the lineup after missing two games with a left shoulder injury.
