Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has been accused of leaving a punch on Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey during Saturday evening’s Wild Card game between the two sides.
The wideout was tackled to the ground after flying in for a catch, and cameras caught Al-Shaair punching him while he was still grounded.
“Al-Shaair punching Ladd McConkey in the head,” a fan shared as the caption to the video shown below.
“Dirtiest player in the league,” they added.
Azeez Al-Shaair Has A Rep
While Al-Shaair was likely trying to punch the ball out of McConkey’s grasp and trigger a fumble, he does have a reputation that’s done him no favors in this case.
The linebacker was suspended for three games late last year after a nasty hit on Trevor Lawrence that left the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback out cold.
Saturday’s action can only earn him additional scrutiny.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
