Wright will start Sunday's game against the Titans with Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) having been ruled out on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Houston signed Wright to the active roster after Fairbairn suffered his quad injury Week 9, signaling that the team anticipated needing a multi-game fill-in. In his team debut versus the Jaguars in Week 10, Wright converted his only field-goal attempt and his lone extra-point try. He'll work to remain accurate on the road against Tennessee.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday that Fairbairn (quadriceps) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Fairbairn will miss a second consecutive game due to a quad injury suffered Week 9 versus the Broncos, leaving Matthew Wright in position to draw another start versus the Titans. In Week 12, Fairbairn will face a short recovery window before the Texans take on Buffalo on Thursday Night Football, which increases the risk of him being sidelined for a third straight game.

Fairbairn (quad) isn't practicing Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Fairbairn was expected to miss more than one week after getting hurt in Week 9 against the Broncos, per an earlier report from Wilson. The standout kicker is tracking toward a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Titans, though Fairbairn could give himself a chance to play by returning to practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. Matthew Wright filled in for Fairbairn in Week 10 against the Jaguars and would do so again Sunday if Fairbairn's ruled out.

Fairbairn (quad) didn't practice Wednesday.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Matthew Wright was signed to the Texans' active roster (from the practice squad) Saturday under the expectation that Fairbairn -- who was inactive Sunday against the Jaguars -- will need more than one week to heal up. Following a DNP on Wednesday, Fairbairn has two more chances to practice ahead of Week 11 action, but for now it looks like Wright is trending toward kicking again this weekend.

The Giants placed Gano (neck) on injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

With his placement on IR for a second time this season, Gano's campaign is officially over after making five appearances and connecting on nine of 10 field-goal attempts and all nine point-after tries. Younghoe Koo is set to kick for the Giants in the short term, but the team also has Jude McAtamney on the practice squad as another option to handle placekicking duties.

Gano (neck) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Gano hasn't practiced since being diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck last Wednesday. New York hasn't made the move to place him on injured reserve, so he seemingly isn't poised to miss three games in addition to this past Sunday's loss at Chicago. Having said that, Younghoe Koo is set to kick for the Giants for as long as Gano is sidelined.

The Raiders signed Joseph to the practice squad Tuesday.

Joseph will provide the Raiders with a kicking option alongside Daniel Carlson, who has made just 12 of 16 field-goal attempts this season. Carlson missed a potential game-tying 48-yard kick wide right in the fourth quarter last Thursday night against Denver. Joseph kicked in games with the Giants, Commanders and Jets last season, making 16 of his 20 field-goal tries and all 11 of his extra points.

The Giants signed Sauls to the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Sauls is currently the fourth kicker employed by the G-Men, joining Graham Gano (neck), who is on the 53-man roster, and practice-squad members Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney. Sauls has never kicked in a regular-season game.

Elliott made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Monday night's 10-7 win over Green Bay.

Elliott was able to break the seal in the third quarter, making a 39-yard field goal to cap off the Eagles' first possession of the second half, giving the team a 3-0 lead. The kicker has now gone seven straight contests without making multiple field goals, and he's only had one opportunity to even attempt two field goals during that span. Elliott has gone 8-for-10 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while making all 26 of his PATs over nine games this year.

McManus missed his only field-goal attempt and made his only PAT in Monday night's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.

McManus had to wait until the final seconds of the game to attempt a field goal, shanking a 64-yarder after a poor snap as time expired in regulation. The kicker has now missed at least one field goal in three straight contests, though Monday's miss isn't overly concerning. McManus has now gone 11-for-17 on field-goal tries, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while making 16 of 17 PATs over seven games this year.
