The Houston Texans might have a problem.
Their regular and reliable kicker, Ka'imi Fairbairn, is injured.
The Texans signaled real concern because on Tuesday, they signed another kicker, Matthew Wright. The news was reported by KPRC's Aaron Wilson.
Wright visited Houston on Tuesday and didn't leave before the Texans had given him a contract for this week.
Fairbairn is coming off a week in which he was 5-for-6 on field goals. He is 22-for-25 on the season.
Wright has kicked in two games this season, one apiece for the Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders. He went 1-for-1 for the Titans on his field goal attempt, and he made one extra point apiece for each team with no misses.

In his career, Wright is an 87.5% field goal kicker. He has also kicked for the Steelers, Chiefs, Jaguars, Panthers and 49ers.
The Texans have a big game on Sunday. At 3-5, Houston takes on the 5-3 Jacksonville Jaguars.
It's a key AFC South clash. If the Texans allow the Jags to get a game further ahead, especially given the Colts are way up top at 7-2, the rest of the season could be an uphill slog for Houston.
The Texans are also dealing with a potential QB injury. C.J. Stroud is in concussion protocol, and his availability for this week is also uncertain.
There will definitely be some key injury news still to come out of Houston later in the week.
