The Arizona Cardinals placed left tackle D.J. Humphries on injured reserve on Saturday, giving them four of their five starters on the offensive line on IR. He had missed three games already with the injury.
He will not return this season.
“It just wasn’t progressing like we thought,” Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Monday. “We were hopeful for a while that maybe it was something he could come back the last few weeks and play but at this point that won’t be possible.”
Kingsbury is hopeful the injury will not require surgery.
“I think he’s still checking out the options on that but we’re hopeful he can just rest it and it’ll settle down,” he said.
Humphries signed a contract extension before the season through 2025.
Josh Jones will continue to start at left tackle in his place.
