Brett Favre, came out in support of Trevor Lawrence, after the QB was recently injured in the game against the Houston Texans last week. The injury was shocking, with coaches, fans and reporters immediately terming it a ‘dirty play’ by Houston’s linebacker, Azeez Al-Shaair. Many fans also took to social media to wish Lawrence a speedy recovery, including former quarterback Brett Favre.
While the play was indeed a dishonest move, Shaair immediately posted on the social media platform, X that he never meant any harm for Lawrence. Shaair also went on to say that he spoke with Lawrence right before the game and that he was happy to see him back on the field.
“Brutal hit. I wish Trevor a speedy recovery,” Favre tweeted on X.

While this wish from Brett Favre is certainly sweet, Lawrence’s return to play will not be any time soon and will be conducted under a stringent protocol. The quarterback will be analyzed by the NFL’s own Head, Neck and Spine Committee who will perform various assessments before they deem him ready to play again.
