Fairbairn has been ruled out for the second half of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a right quadricep injury. He converted his lone extra-point attempt and nailed a 50-yard field-goal attempt prior to his departure.

Coming out of the halftime break, Fairbairn was out on the sideline testing his ability to kick, but the Texans ultimately opted to shut him down for the day. Running back Dare Ogunbowale ended up kicking off for the Texans to start the third quarter, so he looks like he'll operate as the team's emergency kicker for the rest of the day. The Texans could look to work out kickers early next week if there's any concern of Fairbairn's quad injury jeopardizing his availability for the team's next game Nov. 12 in Cincinnati.

The Giants elevated Randy Bullock from the practice squad Saturday, meaning he and York are the candidates to kick for the team Sunday at Las Vegas, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

The Giants have yet to tip their hand about who will get the first chance to take over for regular placekicker Graham Gano, who was placed on injured reserve Friday due to a lingering left knee injury. York was the Browns' kicker last season, netting 24 of 32 field-goal attempts and 35 of 37 point-after tries in 17 games.

Bullock was elevated to the Giants' active roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

It's unclear who will start Sunday between Bullock and Cade York, who was signed off the Titans' practice squad earlier this week. The veteran certainly Bullock has more experience having played nine years across seven teams, including a one-game stint with the Giants back in 2016, but his accuracy has been a bit suspect recently, as he's made just 26 of his 37 field-goal attempts from 40-plus yards over the past three seasons.

Folk made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point attempt in Thursday's 20-16 loss to the Steelers.

Folk accounted for the majority of the Titans' points by converting a pair of field goals from 36 yards away and another from 48 yards. He's been impressive all season and remains a perfect 19-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-13 on extra-point tries. His last missed field-goal attempt came all the way back in Week 13 of last season.

Carlson (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Carlson's good to go despite being limited in all three of Vegas' practices during the week. The offense trying to get him in position for kicks will be quarterbacked by rookie Aidan O'Connell after the Raiders benched Jimmy Garoppolo and fired coach Josh McDaniels in the week leading up to the team's Week 9 matchup with the Giants.

The Giants officially placed Gano (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

With surgery on his left knee on tap, Gano now will miss at least the next four games while on IR. In Gano's place, it's unclear who will be the Giants' kicker Sunday at Las Vegas after the team signed Cade York off the Titans' practice squad and Randy Bullock to the practice squad from the free-agent ranks.

Boswell converted both of his field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries during the Steelers' 20-16 win over the Titans on Thursday.

Boswell had his first missed field-goal attempt of the season last week on a 61-yard attempt, but he took care of business with some manageable kicks in primetime. Over the first eight games of the 2023 campaign, he's made 14 of 15 field-goal attempts while converting all 11 of his extra-point tries.

The Giants are slated to place Gano (knee) on injured reserve, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

Once the move becomes official, Gano will miss a minimum of four games, but it remains to be seen how long the kicker will be out, with Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com having previously reported that Gano is slated to undergo a procedure on his left knee. With Gano sidelined, the Giants are signing Cade York off the Titans' practice squad and adding Randy Bullock to their practice squad ahead of Week 9 action.

With Graham Gano (knee) slated to go on IR, Bullock and Cade York are candidates to kick for the Giants on Sunday against the Raiders, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

With Gano unavailable, Bullock (who is joining the team's practice squad) and York (who was signed off the Titans' practice squad) are in line to compete for the team's kicking job ahead of Week 9 action. During the 2022 season, Bullock converted 17 of 20 field-goal attempts and all 28 of his extra-point tries in 15 games with Tennessee.

The Giants are signing York off the Titans' practice squad.

With Graham Gano (knee) slated to go on IR, York and Randy Bullock are candidates to serve as the Giants' kicker Sunday against the Raiders. Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, a decision on the team's Week 9 kicker could hinge on a competition between York and Bullock during Friday's practice.
