Rams sign veteran offensive tackle D.J. Humphries to a 1-year deal
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams signed veteran offensive tackle D.J. Humphries to a one-year deal on Friday. Humphries, a longtime starter for the NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals, will provide depth and insurance on the Rams' offensive line behind starting left tackle Alaric Jackson. Jackson agreed to a three-year, $57 million free agent deal to return to Los Angeles this spring, but the NFL Network reported this week that Jackson is dealing with a reoccurrence of the blood clots that ended his 2022 season. Humphries spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Cardinals, who drafted him in the first round in 2016. He started 98 games, mostly at left tackle, and was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2021. Humphries was out of the NFL last season while recovering from a torn knee ligament from 2023. He also missed much of the 2022 season with a back injury. He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs last November, but injured his hamstring shortly afterward. He played only occasionally down the stretch into the postseason for the AFC champions, and he didn't play in the Super Bowl. Humphries' agents announced on social media in late April that he had signed with the San Francisco 49ers, but that deal was never completed. ___ AP NFL:

Report: Rams LT Alaric Jackson dealing with blood clots
June 13 - Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with blood clots for the second time since 2022, NFL Network reported on Friday. While Jackson is expected to play this season, the Rams secured insurance at the position by agreeing to terms with free agent tackle D.J. Humphries on Thursday. Jackson, 26, followed up the 2022 season in which he played just eight games (six starts) by starting 29 of the Rams' 34 games over the past two campaigns. Humphries, 31, started 15 games with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023 before sustaining a torn ACL. He joined the Kansas City Chiefs in late November of last season and started two games. Humphries has started all 100 career games he has played since the Cardinals selected him with the 24th overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021. --Field Level Media

49ers Signing of Former 1st-Round Pick and Pro Bowl Lineman Takes Weird Twist
Former Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle D.J. Humphries was said to already have signed - and sealed and delivered - with the San Francisco 49ers as of last month. The former first-round NFL Draft pick played two games last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. ... so this was to be his big return to the stage. Advertisement But now comes a weird twist. Even though the agents for the player announced the deal ... as of Friday morning, there is no signed deal. And is reporting that there probably will not be one. Humphries was originally selected in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Cardinals. He spent every season of his career aside from last year with that club. Humphries started 98 games for Arizona before an ACL tear forced the Cardinals to part ways with him. Following his release, Humphries signed a $2 million, one-year deal with the Chiefs once he was fully recovered. Upon his return he suffered a hamstring injury and finished his season by playing only a meaningless Week 18 game against the Denver Broncos. Advertisement He did not play in Kansas City's playoff run or the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Humphries did not play well in his short stint with the Chiefs and missed blocks which yielded two sacks. ... earning him criticism from KC fans. Humphries will need to show he is completely healthy, as his representatives say he now is. But maybe he's not. He was never coming in to San Francisco to become a starter, with Trent Williams firmly entrenched as the left tackle, and with Colton McKivitz planned on the right side. But now? Humphries, it seems, isn't coming to San Francisco at all. Related: 49ers' Shanahan Wants Purdy at Offseason Program
