Breaking: Chiefs Coach Andy Reid Gives Update on Left Tackle After Benching Starter

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid gave an update on left tackle D.J. Humphries after the decision to bench starter Wanya Morris on Friday.

The Kansas City Chiefs retained the top spot in the AFC after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.

Although Kansas City escaped with the tight, 19-17, victory, they had plenty of issues on offense, especially at left tackle. In the fourth quarter, the Chiefs made the decision to bench Wanya Morris, who had started at the position since Week 2, during an abysmal performance.

Many have called for the team to start Pro Bowler D.J. Humphries, who they signed a week prior. During his Monday press conference, coach Andy Reid addressed the possibility of starting Humphries next week against the Los Angeles Chargers.

“We’ll work him in and see how he feels,” Reid said. “That’s the main thing. He hadn’t played in a while, so I just want to make sure he’s in good position. He did a nice job last week working in there, and we’ll do a little bit more with him this week.”

Do The 11-1 Chiefs Have Something To Prove?

Humphries signed with the Chiefs after he was cleared to play from a torn ACL he suffered in 2023. Reid also addressed the possibility of the Chiefs starting guard Joe Thuney at left tackle, who came in at the position after Morris was benched on Friday.

“Well, that’s another one of the options that we’ve got,” Reid said. “We finished the game that way. I’d rather have Joe playing in at guard because he’s very good there, but (Mike) Caliendo isn’t bad either, so that’s a good problem to have, but we’ve got some flexibility there as needed.”
