Cincinnati Bengals' star player receives praise on social media for his compassionate response to Trevor Lawrence's injury on Monday Night Football (MNF). (VIDEO)
In a surprising turn of events for a franchise that had faced its fair share of disappointments, the Jacksonville Jaguars had a golden opportunity to seize control of the AFC and secure the coveted No. 1 seed as the regular season headed down the home stretch.
However, the Jaguars not only squandered their chance for the top seed in the AFC but also faced the unsettling possibility of their franchise quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, being sidelined. The former No. 1 overall pick endured an ankle injury when the back of his right foot was inadvertently stepped on late in the fourth quarter by left tackle Walker Little. This unfortunate incident occurred as Little was engaged in a block against Bengals' edge rusher Trey Hendrickson while pushing towards Lawrence.
The sight was disheartening as Lawrence was initially helped to his feet, only to collapse to his knees, venting his frustration by slamming his helmet on the field while team trainers rushed to his aid. Eventually, he was assisted off the field and into the locker room.
Amidst this somber moment, fans are now commending Bengals' edge rusher Trey Hendrickson for his compassionate response. Hendrickson could be seen kneeling down in prayer as Lawrence collapsed, understanding the gravity of the potential injury Lawrence had sustained.
