Texans Release Matt Ammendola

12 months ago

The Houston Texans released kicker Matt Ammendola from their practice squad on Tuesday in anticipation of activating regular kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) from Injured Reserve later this week in time for their Week 15 game on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Ammendola served as Houston's kicker in the five games that Fairbairn missed while on Injured Reserve. The 27-year-old wasn't all that effective, making six of his nine field-goal tries and 10 of his 11 extra-point attempts. Fairbairn was one of the league's better kickers earlier this year before his injury, but he won't be all that attractive as a fantasy streamer in Week 15 if quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol.
