Texans Sign Kicker Chris Freeman

The Texans announced the signing of kicker Chris Freeman on Wednesday to assist veteran kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn.

Freeman, an undrafted free agent, previously worked out for the team alongside kicker Will Ferrin and two punters, and participated in the rookie minicamp. He played four seasons at Indiana and two at Connecticut, achieving a perfect record on extra points and a field goal accuracy of 82.7 percent over the last two seasons.

In a related transaction, the Texans waived wide receiver Montrell Washington, who had a brief stint in training camp after appearing in 15 games with the Broncos in 2022.
