According to a report from NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to sign veteran offensive tackle D.J. Humphries, who played for the Arizona Cardinals from 2015 through 2023.
Humphries, a University of Florida product, was selected by the Cardinals in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft. He earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2021.
Early on Friday morning, it was announced that he was medically cleared to return to football and that his availability had drawn interest from multiple teams.
He ultimately chose to join the reigning Super Bowl champions to help shore up Kansas City’s offensive line ahead of the Chiefs’ final playoff push:

It is unclear whether Humphries will jockey for a starting spot over the next few weeks, but his presence should help stabilize the left tackle position, which is currently manned by Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia.
Stay tuned to see how the Chiefs utilize Humphries when they take on the Carolina Panthers this weekend.
