Commanders release offensive tackle D.J. Humphries before season opener

Summary

The Washington Commanders released offensive tackle D.J. Humphries on Friday, two days before their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Humphries had signed with Washington to provide depth and veteran experience on the offensive line. A former first-round pick, he previously earned Pro Bowl honors with the Arizona Cardinals in 2021 and logged 101 career starts. His tenure in Washington concludes before he appeared in a game for the team. Humphries spent the 2023 season with the Arizona Cardinals, where he suffered an ACL tear, followed by stints with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024 and the Los Angeles Rams in 2025. The move leaves the Commanders with a vacancy on the offensive line just before their first game of the season.
