The Chiefs signed D.J. Humphries last week, but he is working his way back from a torn ACL in Week 17 last season. Humphries will play when he’s ready, but the Chiefs aren’t certain yet if that will be this week against the Chargers.

In an emergency move late in the narrow victory over the Las Vegas Raiders last Friday, the Chiefs benched starting left tackle Wanya Morris, moved left guard Joe Thuney into his position and brought Mike Caliendo off the bench to play guard. Is this the plan for the next game, at home against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football?

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting some help along their offensive line. Free agent tackle D.J. Humphries is signing with the Chiefs, a person with knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal is not yet official.

D.J. Humphries, the latest hope for competency in protecting the most valuable football player on the planet, spent the past 11 months rehabbing from a knee surgery. It’s an unfortunate side effect of the sport, and if you talk to enough players who have come back from ACL injuries, you’ll gather a pretty good indication that it’s a grind.
