NFL fans witnessed an inspiring display of sportsmanship on “Monday Night Football” after Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence went down with an injury to his leg.
During the fourth quarter of a close game against Cincinnati, Lawrence went down and was helped up by Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson.
After Lawrence went down again in pain, Hendrickson took off his helmet, took a knee, and prayed for the budding NFL star.
Hendrickson, a seventh-year star who played for Florida Atlantic University, was praised on X (formerly Twitter) for his humility.
A lot of fans noticed the moment:
Lawrence was initially diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, CBS Sports reported.
The former Clemson University star was expected to undergo a full evaluation on Tuesday afternoon.
Many of the league’s stars have been sidelined by injuries this season — starting with an Achilles injury to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers just a few snaps into his New York debut in September.
The Bengals were also without their star quarterback Joe Burrow Monday, who is out for the remainder of the season due to an injury to his wrist.
