Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has earned a reputation as one of the dirtiest players in the league, and he was disciplined again for a hit last week.
The NFL fined Al-Shaair $23,186 for roughness/unnecessary helmet use during a hit during last week’s game against the Chargers. Officials did not flag Al-Shaair during the play.

This is Al-Shaair’s third fine of the season for an illegal hit. He was also fined for hitting a defenseless receiver against the Broncos and for roughing the passer against the Titans.
Last season, Al-Shaair was suspended three games for a hit that caused a concussion on Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, as well as for a fight that broke out after Al-Shaair’s hit.
Al-Shaair signed a three-year, $34 million contract, so a $23,186 fine doesn’t represent a particularly large amount of money for him.
