Short-handed Houston Texans use safety Justin Reid as kicker to start game vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

HOUSTON -- When Justin Reid has some time before training camp practices, it's not unusual to see the Houston Texans safety lining up to attempt a field goal or extra point. And after the Texans' final training camp practice on Thursday, Reid said it was a dream of his to kick an extra point in a game.

He did get a chance to show off his leg in the Texans' preseason finale on Saturday night against the Buccaneers when he kicked off to start the game because kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was held out of the game with a minor injury.
