Less than two weeks after signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, veteran offensive tackle D.J. Humphries is set to make his first start with the team. Per Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest and Sports Radio 810 WHB, Humphries will be Kansas City’s starting left tackle in Week 15, when the Chiefs face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football.
Humphries, 30, signed with the Chiefs on November 25. Week 14 will be Humphries’ first chance to suit up for a game since suffering a torn ACL in Week 17 of the 2023 season.
Earlier in the week, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid said Humphries, if he was physically ready to play, would get a crack at the starting job.
“No, I — listen, I don’t think that’s probably fair to D.J. right now just [with] him coming off this offseason,” Reid said during his December 2 press conference about Humphries potentially being the starting LT in Week 14. “I think we just play it by ear, Sam (McDowell), as we go. If he feels okay, then we give him an opportunity. If it’s not where it needs to be then you don’t. We’ll see how it goes.”
