Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Placed on injured reserve

Fairbairn (quadricep) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Fairbairn will miss at least four games after straining his right quad in Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers. Matt Ammendola was elevated from the practice squad Saturday and will take over as the Texans' kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Cincinnati.
