Humphries signed with the Rams on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

D.J. Humphries: Yet to sign reported deal with SF
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rotowire
Humphries (hamstring) is officially doubtful to play Sunday versus Cleveland.

Chiefs' D.J. Humphries: Dealing with hamstring issue
Rotowire
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Humphries (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
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.

Chiefs' D.J. Humphries: Inks deal with Kansas City
Rotowire
Humphries signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Chiefs on Friday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
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.

D.J. Humphries: Let go by Cardinals
Rotowire
Humphries (knee) was released by the Cardinals on Wednesday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
Humphries -- who was let go with a failed physical designation -- suffered a torn ACL in Week 17 of the 2023 campaign and is still recovering from the injury. Once healthy, the offensive tackle will have to prove himself in order to get another opportunity elsewhere. The 30-year-old has an abundance of experience in the league and will now look for a new home after nine seasons in Arizona.

Cardinals' D.J. Humphries: Surgery delay due to MCL sprain
Rotowire
Head coach Jonathan Gannon noted Monday that Humphries (knee) has to wait to get surgery for his torn ACL, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
Gannon told reporters that Humphries is dealing with an MCL sprain that needs to "calm down" before undergoing ACL surgery. McManaman notes that it could take a month or two for that to happen, which would significantly delay Humphries's surgery and subsequent recovery. He started in all 15 games he appeared in this season.

Cardinals' D.J. Humphries: Officially shifts to IR
Rotowire
Humphries (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Humphries suffered a torn ACL in the Cardinals' Week 17 win over the Eagles, so it's no surprise that the 30-year-old will end the season on injured reserve. Kelvin Beachum is expected to get the nod at left tackle in Arizona's season finale, with Humphries set to miss significant time.

Rotowire
Humphries (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Humphries exited Arizona's Week 9 loss to the Browns after suffering an ankle injury, and even though he didn't practice all week, he's got a chance to suit up this Sunday. If the veteran offensive lineman misses the Cardinals' Week 10 contest, Kelvin Beachum is expected to step in at left tackle.

Cardinals' D.J. Humphries: Practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Humphries (back) participated in practice Wednesday at OTAs, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Humphries, who ended 2022 on injured reserve with a back injury he suffered in Week 9, had been rehabbing on side fields to start OTAs, but he donned a uniform Wednesday and participated in parts of practice for the first time this offseason. The 2015 first-round pick will presumably reclaim his spot as the Cardinals' starting left tackle to begin 2023.
The Cardinals restructured Humphries' (back) contract Friday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.
Arizona converted $8 million of Humphries' $13.5 million salary for 2023 into a signing bonus, saving the team $5.3 million in cap space. However, the left tackle's cap hit will increase to $22.9 million during the 2024 campaign. Humphries ended the 2022 season on injured reserve due to a back injury he suffered in Week 9, and his status for training camp currently remains unclear.
