NFL vice president of policy and rules administration Jon Runyan released a critical statement in explaining why Azeez Al-Shaair received a three-game ban.

Al-Shaair is reportedly appealing his suspension, but that appeal is likely to be resolved prior to Houston's game on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. It better be, because at this point letting Al-Shaair back on the field might touch off another brawl — or get someone else hurt.

Houston – Houston's Azeez Al-Shaair was suspended by the NFL without pay for three games Tuesday for repeated violations of player safety rules following his violent hit to the head of Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence, which led to a concussion.
