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\u00a0Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We&#8217;ll work him in and see how he feels,&#8221; Reid said. &#8220;That&#8217;s the main thing. He hadn&#8217;t played in a while, so I just want to make sure he&#8217;s in good position. He did a nice job last week working in there, and we&#8217;ll do a little bit more with him this week.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-embed-card--list\">\n<div class=\"m-card--content\">\n<h2 id=\"do-the-11-1-chiefs-have-something-to-prove\" class=\"m-ellipsis--text m-card--header-text\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\">Do The 11-1 Chiefs Have Something To Prove?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Humphries signed with the Chiefs after he was cleared to play from a torn ACL he suffered in 2023.
