Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes could have a new blindside protector when he faces the Chargers on Sunday night. Kansas City coach Andy Reid said Monday he was leaving open the possibility that former Pro Bowl left tackle D.J. Humphries could start against Los Angeles.

The Chiefs drafted Kingsley Suamataia in the second round in April in the hopes that he would handle the left tackle job. But he proved to be overmatched in his first two starts, and the Chiefs tried second-year pro Wanya Morris at the position instead. “Listen, we’ve got young guys that we’re working in there. The growth — they’re going against good players, and the good ones have gotten the better of us,” Reid said. “But it’s things these guys will learn from and they can bank for the future.”
“It’s been interesting,” Humphries said. “You find out stuff about yourself when you go through stuff like that. I knew I was a tough guy already, but like, having to go through those things, getting those — ‘Man, you had such a great career, what a run’ — like, those texts were really trying for me. Like, damn, people just assuming it’s over because I’m hurt.”
