The Texans signed Hairston to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The 25-year-old fullback failed to make Houston's initial 53-man roster, but he's now been brought back as a practice squad player. Hairston missed all of 2023 due to a back injury, but he appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Texans in 2022, and he could potentially find himself back on the team's active roster at some point this season.

The Texans waived Hairston on Tuesday. Hairston missed all of 2023 after being placed on the Texans' injured reserve due to a back injury. He returned for training camp in the hopes of making Houston's 53-man roster this season like he did in 2022, but he wasn't successful in doing so this time around. Assuming he clears waivers, Hairston could look to stick around on the Texans' practice squad or explore opportunities elsewhere.

Hairston (back) was spotted practicing during the Texans' minicamp session Tuesday, per the Associated Press. Hairston missed all of Houston's 2023 season due to a back issue, but it now seems as if he's moved past this injury. The Central Michigan product appeared in 16 games in 2022, catching five of his eight targets for 19 yards while also playing 238 special teams snaps. He's expected to compete with Andrew Beck for the Texans' top fullback position as the offseason progresses.

Hairston (back) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Hairston will now miss the 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Texans and can prove himself healthy. The second-year pro made the team as an undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan in 2022 and was believed to be competing with Andrew Beck for fullback duties. Instead, he'll now focus on getting healthy.

Hairston (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Dallas. Hairston picked up a rib injury during the team's Week 13 loss to Cleveland and was sidelined during Wednesday and Thursday's sessions due to the issue. However, he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, giving himself a chance to suit up. Hairston has caught just three of five targets for 12 yards this season, so his availability shouldn't impact Houston's offense.
