D.J. Humphries, a veteran offensive tackle, has joined the Kansas City Chiefs, marking his first practice with the team after signing a deal. The Chiefs are in need of protection for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, particularly at left tackle, following struggles from Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia.
Chiefs' offensive coordinator Matt Nagy expressed excitement about Humphries' personality and potential contributions, although he acknowledged the need for a ramp-up period due to the player's recent recovery from a knee injury.
In addition to Humphries, the Chiefs are managing several roster changes, including the signing of Matthew Wright and the placement of Peyton Hendershot on injured reserve. The team is also optimistic about the return of running back Isiah Pacheco and pass rusher Charles Omenihu, both of whom have been sidelined by injuries.
