Commanders to sign veteran tackle Humphries, source says

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders are signing veteran tackle D.J. Humphries, a source told ESPN on Tuesday.

The signing adds experience and depth on the left side of the line after Washington lost Laremy Tunsil to a torn triceps on Aug. 5. Tunsil underwent surgery, but the Commanders remain uncertain if or when he'll return, saying only that he will miss significant time.

Humphries would give the Commanders a back up for starter Brandon Coleman, who took over for Tunsil. Coleman started 15 games at left tackle in 2024, including all three postseason games as the Commanders reached the NFC Championship Game.
