The Texans elevated Slye from the practice squad Saturday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
Ka'imi Fairbairn missed Houston's exhibition finale with a minor injury, which was revealed to be a tweak of a leg muscle. Coach David Culley ruled Fairbairn out for Week 1 on Wednesday before the team placed him on IR shortly thereafter. Slye, whom the Texans signed to the practice squad this week, thus will handle placekicking duties Sunday and perhaps beyond. As the Panthers' primary kicker the past two seasons, he connected on 79.4 percent of field-goal attempts and 90.1 percent of his point-after tries.
