This obviously won't undo the harm caused to Lawrence, but it's good to know that the NFL recognizes what Jaguars fans (and really, the rest of the AFC South) has been saying over the last few days: That Sunday's dirty hit was just the latest in a long line of them from Al-Shaair, and that players would continue to get hurt unless someone dropped the hammer. It's not often that the league publicly reprimands not just a specific action but a player's on-field character like this; the fact that Runyan did so means that Al-Shaair has been on the NFL's radar for a long time, long enough to call his sportsmanship and respect for the game into question.
