Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Getting MRI, could miss time

Fairbairn (quadricep) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, and the Texans believe he could miss multiple games, a league source tells Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
Fairbairn converted his lone extra-point try as well as a 50-yard field-goal attempt before he was ruled out for the entire second half after injuring his right quad on a kickoff. Running back Dare Ogunbowale stepped in as the Texans' emergency kicker beginning in the third quarter and delivered three touchbacks on six kickoffs in addition to making a 29-yard field goal. Though Ogunbowale performed admirably, the Texans are still likely to sign a kicker to their practice squad this week and then elevate him to the 53-man roster for next Sunday's game in Cincinnati if Fairbairn is unable to play.
