Humphries (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Humphries has been sidelined for the Chiefs' last three games after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 14 win over the Chargers. However, the 31-year-old practiced in full Wednesday, suggesting he's now recovered from the issue. Humphries could serve as the Chiefs' top left tackle in the Week 18 matchup against the Broncos, though he might also rest, as Kansas City has already secured the AFC's No. 1 seed.

Chiefs' D.J. Humphries: Dealing with hamstring issue
Rotowire

Chiefs' D.J. Humphries: Inks deal with Kansas City
Rotowire
Humphries signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Chiefs on Friday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Friday that Humphries was medically cleared to return to football activities. Humphries tore his ACL in Week 17 of the 2023 regular season, and though he was released by the Cardinals in March, he continued to rehab throughout the summer in the hopes of returning to NFL action in 2024. He worked out with the Giants in October, but he will take his talents to Kansas City, and his contract has a maximum value of $4.5 million with incentives, per Rapoport. Humphries spent the first nine years of his NFL career with the Cardinals and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021. He'll provide veteran depth for a Chiefs' offensive line that has allowed 22 sacks across 10 regular-season games, though 10 of those have come over the last three contests, per Nate Taylor and RJ Kraft of The Athletic.

D.J. Humphries: Let go by Cardinals
Rotowire
Humphries (knee) was released by the Cardinals on Wednesday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
Humphries -- who was let go with a failed physical designation -- suffered a torn ACL in Week 17 of the 2023 campaign and is still recovering from the injury. Once healthy, the offensive tackle will have to prove himself in order to get another opportunity elsewhere. The 30-year-old has an abundance of experience in the league and will now look for a new home after nine seasons in Arizona.

Cardinals' D.J. Humphries: Surgery delay due to MCL sprain
Rotowire
Head coach Jonathan Gannon noted Monday that Humphries (knee) has to wait to get surgery for his torn ACL, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
Gannon told reporters that Humphries is dealing with an MCL sprain that needs to "calm down" before undergoing ACL surgery. McManaman notes that it could take a month or two for that to happen, which would significantly delay Humphries's surgery and subsequent recovery. He started in all 15 games he appeared in this season.

Cardinals' D.J. Humphries: Practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Humphries (back) participated in practice Wednesday at OTAs, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Humphries, who ended 2022 on injured reserve with a back injury he suffered in Week 9, had been rehabbing on side fields to start OTAs, but he donned a uniform Wednesday and participated in parts of practice for the first time this offseason. The 2015 first-round pick will presumably reclaim his spot as the Cardinals' starting left tackle to begin 2023.
The Cardinals restructured Humphries' (back) contract Friday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Arizona converted $8 million of Humphries' $13.5 million salary for 2023 into a signing bonus, saving the team $5.3 million in cap space. However, the left tackle's cap hit will increase to $22.9 million during the 2024 campaign. Humphries ended the 2022 season on injured reserve due to a back injury he suffered in Week 9, and his status for training camp currently remains unclear.
