Former Cardinals O-lineman to start for defending champs

A familiar face for Arizona Cardinals will be on the field for the Kansas City Chiefs when they face the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday night.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs will have their third starting left tackle of the season. D.J. Humphries will get the start.

Humphries was cut by the Cardinals back in March in a business decision. He tore his ACL in December. After being cleared for all football activities last month, he signed with the Chiefs, the two-time defending world champions.

After the struggles of Wanya Morris, Humphries will protect the blind side of quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the final stretch of the regular season.

Humphries played nine seasons for the Cardinals after being drafted in the first round in 2015. From 2016-2023, he started 98 games for them and made the Pro Bowl in 2021.
