The Houston Texans will be without Ka’imi Fairbairn when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in the preseason finale at NRG Stadium Aug. 25.
According to Aaron Wilson from the Pro Football Network, the Texans’ kicker is dealing with a short-term injury. As a result, the Texans are working out former New York Jets kicker Matt Ammendola.

Ammendola played 11 games for the Jets last season, making 13-of-19 field goals and 14-of-15 extra points.
Last preseason, Fairbairn similarly sustained an injury in warmups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the preseason finale. Safety Justin Reid handled kicking duties for the Texans, who later signed Joey Slye to fill in for Fairbairn as he recovered from his groin injury.
