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.
