The Houston Texans are used to relying on kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn.
Just last week, Fairbairn made five field goals.
But in Week 10, in a divisional matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Fairbairn isn't kicking.

Who is the Texans' kicker?
The Texans' kicker for Week 10 is Matthew Wright.
Wright visited Houston on Tuesday and didn't leave before the Texans had given him a contract for this week.
Why is Matthew Wright kicking for Texans and not Ka'imi Fairbairn?
Fairbairn is out injured this week, pushing Wright into duty.
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 3-5 Texans take on the 5-3 Jags, and they may need Wright to hit a key kick if they want to pull off an upset in a game being started by backup QB Davis Mills.
