Fairbairn (quadricep) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Fairbairn is expected to resume kicking duties for the Texans in Week 15 against the Titans, and his return to practice Wednesday after having his 21-day evaluation window opened marks a step toward making that a reality. Assuming Fairbairn experiences no setbacks with his quad in practice over the next three days, Houston will likely formally add him back to the 53-man roster Saturday. Fairbairn converted 18 of 19 field-goal attempts and 14 of 14 extra-point tries in Houston's first eight games before landing on IR.
