Cincinnati Bengals consider adding veteran tackle DJ Humphries after Commanders release
Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals are evaluating free-agent options to bolster their offensive line following the release of tackle DJ Humphries by the Washington Commanders. Humphries, a 32-year-old former first-round pick, became available days before the start of the regular season. The Washington Commanders reportedly released the veteran with the potential intent to re-sign him to the practice squad after salary-cap adjustments. The Cincinnati Bengals currently hold Javon Foster and a group of interior linemen as depth behind their starters, having previously claimed Myles Hinton on waivers. While the Cincinnati Bengals recently released Cody Ford, the organization continues to monitor the market for experienced help to support the roster. Humphries offers a veteran alternative if the team decides to add further protection to their front line.
