Humphries signed with the Rams on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The offensive tackle was initially negotiating with the 49ers earlier in the spring, but no deal came together even though Humphries' representation announced that it did. Humphries tore his ACL late in the 2023 season with the Cardinals, got released the following March, signed with the Chiefs in November and then dealt with a hamstring issue late in the 2024 regular season. Humphries has started all 100 regular-season games he's appeared in during his career, but he's expected to provide depth behind Alaric Jackson and Rob Havenstein in Los Angeles.

Humphries and the 49ers have not yet agreed upon a contract despite a late-April report that the veteran offensive lineman had signed with the team, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was Humphries' representation that initially announced that the sides had agreed to a contract, but per Maiocco, that deal was never finalized. Maiocco also reports that "nothing appears imminent" between Humphries and San Francisco, making the 2015 first-round draft pick very much still a free agent. Since the reported deal, San Francisco has agreed to contracts with veteran offensive linemen Andre Dillard and Nicholas Petit-Frere, so it's unclear whether the organization has maintained interest in signing Humphries.

The 49ers signed Humphries on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Humphries is headed to San Francisco after having appeared in two games with the Chiefs during the 2024 campaign. He will provide much needed depth at tackle as Trent Williams is still dealing with an ankle injury suffered last season.

Humphries (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Humphries (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Week 17 matchup against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Humphries will sit out a third straight game due to a left hamstring strain. Joe Thuney started at left tackle last Saturday against Houston and will likely do so again on Christmas Day.

Humphries (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Humphries entered the weekend doubtful to suit up because of a hamstring issue, and he's now officially been ruled out. Wanya Morris and Joe Thuney are the most likely candidates to start at left tackle in his stead. Humphries' next chance to play is Dec. 21 against Houston.

Humphries (hamstring) is officially doubtful to play Sunday versus Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Humphries hurt his hamstring last Sunday versus the Chargers and didn't practice at all this week. It appears the left tackle is going to miss Sunday's matchup against the Browns. As a result, Wanya Morris may move into the starting lineup.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Humphries (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reid added that Humphries tweaked his hamstring in Kansas City's Week 14 win over the Chargers, and the team will monitor his injury on a day-by-day basis. If the veteran offensive tackle can't upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday, Wanya Morris could draw the start at left tackle Week 15 against the Browns.

Humphries (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest versus the Chargers, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Humphries pulled up lame with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter, making it rather unlikely he's able to return to the contest. The offensive lineman was making his third straight start at left tackle for Kansas City.

Humphries signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Chiefs on Friday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
