The Texans released Ammendola from their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's decision to move on from Ammendola signals that the team fully anticipates top kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadricep) making his return from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. Ammendola reverted to the practice squad following the Texans' Week 14 loss to the Jets, after he had handled kicking duties in each of the past five contests. During his time as Houston's kicker, Ammendola converted on six of nine field-goal attempts and 10 of 11 extra-point tries.

The Texans reverted Ammendola to the practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ammendola missed his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets, in a game when the Houston offense wasn't able to move the ball effectively. Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) has missed the last five games while on IR and Ammendola could continue to handle kicking duties if the former is unable to progress enough to suit up for Week 15 against the Titans.

Ammendola missed his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets in Week 14.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's offense was hampered by injuries to key weapons, which resulted in its fewest points scored and yards gained this season. Nico Collins (calf) left early in the first quarter, joining Tank Dell (lower leg) and Dalton Schultz (hamstring). Later, quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was removed from the contest. That all resulted in zero field-goal attempts for Ammendola, who had nine FGA and 10 XPA in his first four weeks as a replacement for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). The failed extra-point kick was his first and fourth missed kick overall in the last four games.

The Texans elevated Ammendola to the active roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ammendola appears to continue serving as the Texans' kicker for at least another week with Ka'imi Fairbairn continuing to work his way back from a quadriceps injury. Ammendola has made all 10 of his extra-point attempts and has gone 6-for-9 on field goal attempts.

Ammendola will likely serve as the Texans' kicker Sunday against the Jets, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ammendola has been filling in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) for the past four games, and it appears the 26-year-old will need to fill in for at least one more week. Fairbairn is already eligible to come off of IR, but according to Wilson, the team is contemplating waiting one more week to reinstate him to the 53-man roster.

Ammendola reverted to Houston's practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ammendola made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's win over the Broncos as continues to fill in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadricep). Fairbairn is now eligible to come off injured reserve, but head coach DeMeco Ryans said he was still uncertain if Fairbairn will be ready for the upcoming game versus the Jets, so Ammendola could be in line to play once again.

Ammendola converted all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.

EDGE Analysis

Ammendola nailed three chip shots from 29, 38 and 38 yards and recorded a second double-digit performance in four weeks as a replacement for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). It's looking like Fairbairn may return Week 14, so Ammendola's stretch of fantasy relevance may be coming to end.

Ammendola was elevated to the Texans' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Ammendola's fourth consecutive game as Houston's kicker. He has gone 3-of-6 on field-goal attempts and 9-of-9 on extra-points. The anticipation is Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) will be activated next week as the team's eighth and final designated return. Thus, this should be Ammendola's final elevation.

Ammendola signed with Houston's practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) still on injured reserve for at least one more week, Ammendola is expected to be elevated from the practice squad to serve as Houston's kicker Sunday against the Broncos. Ammendola was waived from the Texans' active roster Monday after missing both of his field-goal attempts in a 24-21 loss to Jacksonville in Week 12, though one of the misses was a 58-yard attempt that caromed off the crossbar in the final minute of the fourth quarter.

The Texans waived Ammendola on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The move, which occurred after Ammendola missed both of his field-goal tries and made three of three extra points in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars, creates a roster spot for Derek Barnett, whom the Texans claimed off waivers Monday. However, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Ammendola is expected to join Houston's practice squad, assuming he clears waivers, so it's possible he'll remain the team's kicker Week 13 after all.
