Humphrey practiced in full Friday after opening the week with back-to-back limited sessions, and it’s unknown if the 27-year-old will start after having already missed eight games this season. Still, adding the All-Pro cornerback is urgent for a unit that’ll defend Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
