Texans Waive Joey Slye With Ka'imi Fairbairn Returning
3 years agoThe Houston Texans waived kicker Joey Slye on Thursday. Slye wasn't terrible for Houston through the first three games of the season. The 25-year-old made four of his five field-goal attempts and had missed one of eight extra-point tries to begin the season. The move was made with regular kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg) set to return from Injured Reserve in time for this Sunday's game on the road against the Buffalo Bills. Fairbairn made 87.1 percent of his field goals (27-for-31) and went 37-for-40 on extra points in 16 games for the Texans last year. He was a weekly fantasy option in 2020, but that won't be the case with rookie quarterback Davis Mills under center in a tough road environment this weekend.
