Texans' Troy Hairston: Officially lands on IR
Hairston (back) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hairston will now miss the 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Texans and can prove himself healthy. The second-year pro made the team as an undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan in 2022 and was believed to be competing with Andrew Beck for fullback duties. Instead, he'll now focus on getting healthy.

Texans' Troy Hairston: Injured during practice
Hairston (undisclosed) was carted off the field during practice Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 reports.

Texans' Troy Hairston: Logs full session Wednesday
Hairston (chest) was listed as a full participant on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.
Hairston suffered a chest injury against Cleveland in Week 13, and he logged just one limited practice before being deemed inactive ahead of Sunday's loss to Dallas. Now, the rookie fullback should be ready to roll again heading into this Sunday's game versus Kansas City. Hairston has not provided much in the way of statistical production over 12 games, logging three catches on five targets for 12 yards, though he should reprise his role as a lead blocker on offense moving forward.

Hairston (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
The undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan will miss his first game of the season after he managed only one limited practice this week on account of the chest issue. His absence Sunday leaves the Texans without a true fullback, though Houston has four tight ends active who can step in as blockers out of the backfield as needed.

Texans' Troy Hairston: Iffy for Week 14
Hairston (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Dallas.
Hairston picked up a rib injury during the team's Week 13 loss to Cleveland and was sidelined during Wednesday and Thursday's sessions due to the issue. However, he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, giving himself a chance to suit up. Hairston has caught just three of five targets for 12 yards this season, so his availability shouldn't impact Houston's offense.
