Cut by Cleveland
Hairston was waived by the Browns on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Hairston will now be available to be claimed by the rest of the league, but if he goes unclaimed, he'll likely remain in Cleveland. The fullback was rumored to be in line to serve as the Browns' starting fullback in 2025, if the team carried one, but that plan may have dissolved.

Could have role in 2025
Hairston is in line for a role on the 2025 roster with the expectation that the Browns will utilize the fullback position this season, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hairston, who signed a futures contract with the Browns in January, has game experience at fullback from when he was with the Texans. Whether the Browns actually carry a fullback and make plans to use the position will evolve over the summer. Hairston's fate is tied to the number of tight ends and true running backs that end up sticking around.

Heading to Houston
The Texans signed Hairston to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old fullback failed to make Houston's initial 53-man roster, but he's now been brought back as a practice squad player. Hairston missed all of 2023 due to a back injury, but he appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Texans in 2022, and he could potentially find himself back on the team's active roster at some point this season.

Cut by Houston
The Texans waived Hairston on Tuesday.
Analysis: Hairston missed all of 2023 after being placed on the Texans' injured reserve due to a back injury. He returned for training camp in the hopes of making Houston's 53-man roster this season like he did in 2022, but he wasn't successful in doing so this time around. Assuming he clears waivers, Hairston could look to stick around on the Texans' practice squad or explore opportunities elsewhere.

Back for minicamp
Hairston (back) was spotted practicing during the Texans' minicamp session Tuesday, per the Associated Press.
Analysis: Hairston missed all of Houston's 2023 season due to a back issue, but it now seems as if he's moved past this injury. The Central Michigan product appeared in 16 games in 2022, catching five of his eight targets for 19 yards while also playing 238 special teams snaps. He's expected to compete with Andrew Beck for the Texans' top fullback position as the offseason progresses.

Officially lands on IR
Hairston (back) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: 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.

Dealing with back injury
Hairston suffered a herniated disk Sunday and is expected to be placed on IR, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Hairston was carted off the field after the injury happened. At the time it wasn't known what the injury was; however, an MRI revealed the extent of the injury. Although he has not been placed on IR yet, the move is expected to happen, and depending on the timing, he could end up being out for the season.

Injured during practice
Hairston (undisclosed) was carted off the field during practice Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 reports.
Analysis: Hairston's specific injury is unclear, as Wilson only notes that he was "down on the ground for a long time." The second-year fullback is likely competing for a roster spot with fullback/tight end hybrid Andrew Beck, so the sooner he can get back on the field, the better.
