Houston placed Fairbairn on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

According to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston, linebacker Eric Wilson is the only unvaccinated player on the Texans roster, which means Fairbairn was placed on the list after testing positive for the virus. Fairbairn will thus have an outside chance of clearing the NFL's return-to-play COVID-19 protocol before Sunday's game against the Chargers, but if he can't play this week, Houston will have to sign an out-of-house replacement. The Texans don't have a kicker on their practice squad, as Fairbairn provided little reason for Houston to add competition since he's converted on all but one of his 10 extra-point tries and all but two of his 15 field-goal attempts over the last nine games.
