Humphries has been dealing with a hamstring injury and did not practice with the Chiefs on Monday.

Chiefs OL depth chart
Head coach Andy Reid hasn’t yet revealed his plan for the Chiefs’ front-five, but veteran guard Joe Thuney started in Humphries’ place when Kansas City faced the Houston Texans in Week 16. Tackles Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia will be available to replace Humphries if Thuney returns to his spot as a starting guard.
