Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Out at least three weeks

The Texans placed Fairbairn (leg) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Fairbairn, who suffered a leg injury during pregame warmups prior to Houston's third preseason game, will thus sit out at least the team's first three games. In the wake of the move, look for the Texans to promote Joey Slye from their practice squad in advance of Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars.
