Commanders Release OT Humphries
The move leaves Washington thinner at left tackle after Laremy Tunsil’s injury and a one-year signing for Humphries earlier this month.
On Friday, the Washington Commanders released veteran offensive tackle D.J. Humphries, just two days before their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington had signed Humphries to a one-year deal on August 30 following a season-ending triceps injury to left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
A 2015 first-round draft pick, Humphries earned 2021 Pro Bowl honors with the Arizona Cardinals and played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams.
The team is pivoting to third-year offensive tackle Brandon Coleman to start at left tackle going forward.
Washington's offensive line was already viewed as questionable heading into Week 1, and the release leaves the unit under pressure before facing the Philadelphia Eagles.
