The Patriots have elevated Humphrey from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jakobi Meyers (knee) listed as questionable for the contest, Humphrey provides the Patriots with some added Week 1 wideout depth, plus he's also an option to contribute on special teams if he's active Sunday.

New England signed Harris to their practice squad Wednesday, Mike Dussault of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fellow wideout Tre Nixon will join Humphrey on the practice squad, giving New England a couple of in-house promotion options should an injury strike one of the wideouts on the 53-man roster. With New Orleans last season, Humphrey appeared in 10 games and totaled 13 receptions for 249 yards and two touchdowns.

The Patriots are slated to waive Humphrey, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The same applies to fellow depth wideout Tre Nixon, with the report noting that both players are candidates to resurface on the Patriots' practice squad.

Humphrey relayed Monday that he's seen some reps at tight end in training camp, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

If the 6-foot-4, 225 pounder -- who is listed as a wide receiver -- demonstrates that he has the versatility to play some tight end, it potentially could help him land a roster spot. Though two preseason games, Humphrey has logged 11 catches for 133 yards and a TD, while also making a mark on special teams.

The Patriots signed Humphrey to a one-year contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

There were reports that the wideout would be returning to the Saints, but the undrafted product out of Texas opted to sign with New England instead. In the absence of Michael Thomas (ankle), the 24-year-old complied a career-high 249 receiving yards across 10 games last season, but he faces a crowded wide receiver room with his new squad.

New Orleans re-signed Humphrey, a restricted free agent, to a contract Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Humphrey recently dealt with an ankle injury, per Underhill, but he's fully on track for the start of the offseason program. After compiling a career-high 249 receiving yards through 10 games last season, Humphrey figures to once again compete for a depth role with the Saints.

Humphrey caught 13 of 18 targets for 249 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games during the 2021 season.

EDGE Analysis

Humphrey missed seven games between injuries, coach's decisions and COVID protocols, but he was a regular part of the rotation over the second half of the season despite Tre'Quan Smith's return to the lineup. However, the 6-foot-4 only saw more than two targets twice and only once was he targeted in the red zone. While Humphrey's status as an exclusive-rights free agent almost guarantees that he'll be back in New Orleans in 2022, each of Michael Thomas, Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris will probably be back as well, and it's possible other talents are added to the mix.

Humphrey caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The Saints' passing tree was very narrow in this one, as only Marquez Callaway and Alvin Kamara saw more targets or had more production than Humphrey. It was a disappointing performance for the 23-year-old after he set a career high with 70 yards last week, but he'll get one more chance in the regular season to make a splash as New Orleans faces Atlanta in Week 18 with a possible wild-card berth on the line.

Humphrey (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John DeShazier of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Humphrey dealt with a non-COVID-19 illness late in the week, but he'll be out there against Carolina for the late-season divisional clash. The 23-year-old is coming off a career-best three-catch, 70-yard performance against the Dolphins in Week 16, numbers he generated with rookie Ian Book at quarterback.

The Saints list Humphrey as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers with an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Humphrey was a late addition to the Saints' Week 17 injury report after he failed to practice Friday upon coming down with the ailment. The wideout hasn't been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and should have a shot at being available Sunday, provided he makes good progress in his recovery over the next 48 hours. With three catches for 70 yards on five targets in the Week 16 loss to Miami, Humphrey was one of the few Saints skill-position players to deliver a useful fantasy line in the game, though his involvement in the passing game could take a step back with Deonte Harris (suspension) back in action this weekend following a three-game hiatus.
