Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Perfect against Vegas
Fairbairn converted both field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Thursday night's 22-20 preseason loss to the Raiders.
Fairbairn's longest field goal came in the second quarter, with the 57-yarder propelling the Texans to a 20-3 lead. The kicker's eight-point night should leave Texans fans confident the 32-year-old still has a strong and consistent leg as the team enters yet another year of AFC title contention.

Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Idle against Bolts
Fairbairn did not play in the Texans' 27-7 preseason loss to the Chargers on Thursday.
With Fairbairn on the sidelines, Chris Freeman served as the Texans' kicker Thursday and missed his lone field-goal attempt from 61 yards out. Freeman was then waived by Houston on Friday, leaving Fairbairn as the only kicker on the 90-man roster. Unless the Texans sign another kicker, Fairbairn figures to play in each of the Texans' last two preseason games, with the next taking place this Thursday at home against the Raiders.

Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Extended by Houston
Fairbairn and the Texans have agreed on a two-year deal, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The contract is a two-year, $13 million extension, which makes Fairbairn the highest-paid kicker in the NFL. The 32-year-old made NFL history during the 2025 season by tying David Akers' 2011 record for most field goals in a single season with 44. This extension will provide key continuity on special teams for the Texans as they chase a fourth consecutive playoff berth in the 2026 season.

Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Practices in full Thursday

Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Dealing with illness
Fairbairn was limited in practice Wednesday due to an illness.
It's not clear when Fairbairn began feeling under the weather, but the good news is that it's relatively early in the week. Given that he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, it's likely that the veteran kicker will be able to play Sunday against Indianapolis. Fairbairn has gone 16-for-17 on FG attempts since returning Week 12 from a two-game absence due to a quad injury.

Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Makes long kicks Sunday
Fairbairn hit all three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.
The kicker's field goals came from 55, 50 and 49 yards, respectively. Fairbairn has missed only four kicks this year, all field goals from 50 yards or longer, though he was perfect from that distance Sunday. The longtime Texan remains a reliable kicking option on a great defensive team that often settles for field goals.
