The Jacksonville Jaguars put their quarterback on injured reserve Dec. 4, three days after he was hit in the head in one of the most discussed and defining plays of the 2024 NFL season.

Lawrence was trying to slide when he took a forearm to the head from Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. The play resulted in a concussion for Lawrence, who left the game immediately, and a three-game suspension for Al-Shaair.
