Ka'imi Fairbairn - Expected back Week 4 The Texans plan to add Fairbairn (leg) to the 53-man roster this week and have him assume kicking duties Sunday against the Bills, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports. "... Impact After missing the Texans' first three games while recovering from a leg injury, Fairbairn was designated to return from injured reserve Monday and took part in practice that day. Houston has apparently been satisfied with how Fairbairn has checked out during his first couple of workouts, with special teams coordinator Frank Ross telling Aaron Reiss of The Athletic on Thursday that the kicker is ready to play. Assuming Fairbairn is in fact activated from IR before Saturday's deadline for Week 4 eligibility, he'll take back kicking duties from Joey Slye, who's missed one of five field-goal attempts and one of eight extra-point attempts through Houston's first three contests.
