Lil'Jordan Humphrey Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Broncos vs Commanders game on Nov 30, 2025 with our National Football League injury report.Nov 12, 2025
Re-joining Payton in Denver
Humphrey is signing with the Broncos and may play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos are signing Humphrey away from the Giants' practice squad, figuring he can acclimate quickly after previously playing for Sean Payton in both New Orleans and Denver. Humphrey isn't likely to have much fantasy value, but his presence in a depth role could take a bit of playing time away from the Broncos' other wide receivers.
Oct 27, 2025
Placed back on practice squad
The Giants reverted Humphrey to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was elevated each of the past three weeks and played a major role in New York's offense, logging at least 64 percent of the team's offensive snaps each week. However, after producing four catches on eight targets for 55 yards in Week 6, Humphrey didn't make any catches on two targets over his subsequent two games. Still, with Malik Nabers (knee) on IR and the Giants getting very little production from their wideouts outside of Wan'Dale Robinson, there's certainly a chance Humphrey could continue to be called upon on gamedays. However, he'd need to be signed to the active roster for that to happen since he's already been elevated three times.
Oct 25, 2025
Gets third practice-squad elevation
The Giants elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was also elevated each of the past two weeks and played a major role in the Giants' offense, logging 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 6 and 95 percent in Week 7. Darius Slayton (hamstring) is returning for Sunday's game after sitting out each of the past two weeks, so Humphrey will likely take on a lesser role, though he could still be the team's No. 3 WR option behind Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson. Since Humphrey has now been elevated three times, he'd need to be signed to the active roster in order to be active for New York on gameday again beyond this weekend.
Oct 20, 2025
Heads back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
In this past Sunday's loss to Denver, Humphrey led New York's wideouts with 74 offensive snaps (out of a possible 77), though he got only two targets and didn't catch either of him. Malik Nabers (knee) is out for the season, so Humphrey could eventually be signed to the active roster to provide every-week receiver depth. His role could be reduced, however, when Darius Slayton (hamstring) is ready to return to action.
Oct 18, 2025
Elevated from practice squad again
The Giants have elevated Humphrey from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
New York will be without Darius Slayton (hamstring) for a second consecutive game, while Malik Nabers (knee) is already done for the year, which positions Humphrey to again join Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski in the wide receiver corps. Humphrey was elevated Week 6 against the Eagles due to the same circumstance, a game in which he played 77 percent of offensive snaps and secured four of eight targets for 55 yards.
Oct 10, 2025
Reverts to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Giants' practice squad Friday.
ANALYSIS
With Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) injured, Humphrey started Thursday night against the Eagles and played 77 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with four catches for 55 yards on eight targets in his first regular-season action of 2025. Humphrey figures to be a regular elevation candidate over the next few weeks after his strong Week 6 performance.
Oct 10, 2025
Busy after promotion Thursday
Humphrey brought in four of eight targets for 55 yards in the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Promoted from the practice squad earlier in the day, Humphrey made very good use of his first taste of regular-season action in 2025. The veteran wideout finished second to Wan'Dale Robinson in receptions and receiving yards on the night for the Giants while surprisingly pacing the team in targets. Humphrey posted a solid 31-293-1 receiving line 45 targets in a part-time role for the Broncos a year ago, and while Darius Slayton's absence due to a hamstring issue was the biggest factor in Humphrey's elevation against the Eagles, he could remain on the active roster for a Week 7 road matchup with his former Denver teammates on Sunday, Oct. 19.
Oct 9, 2025
Elevated to active roster
Humphrey was elevated to the Giants' active roster ahead of Thursday night's contest against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey will join the active roster for the first time this season after joining New York's practice squad in the offseason. The 27-year-old will provide the team with an additional depth option at wide receiver with Darius Slayton (hamstring) unavailable for Thursday Night Football.
Aug 27, 2025
Staying with Big Blue
The Giants signed Humphrey to the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey wasn't able to beat out Gunner Olszewski or undrafted rookie Beaux Collins for a depth wideout spot on the Giants' 53-man roster. Humphrey has elected to stay with the team on the practice squad and is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should the Giants need extra depth at wide receiver. The seventh-year wideout logged six catches (on nine targets) for 94 yards and a touchdown across the Giants' three preseason games.
Aug 26, 2025
Dumped by G-Men
The Giants released Humphrey on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey had a productive preseason, catching six passes for 94 yards and one touchdown on eight targets across 96 offensive snaps. The 27-year-old veteran wideout appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Broncos last season, making seven starts, and finished with a 31-293-1 receiving line on 45 targets.
May 12, 2025
Back with Big Blue
The Giants re-signed Humphrey on Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
The Texas product was dropped by the Giants just three days ago, but it now appears the team has decided to bring him back to New York. Humphrey appeared in all 17 of the Broncos' regular-season contests in 2024, catching 31 of his 45 targets for 293 yards and one touchdown. With the Giants' limited depth depth at wide receiver, Humphrey will likely have the opportunity to compete for a reserve role on offense this summer.
May 9, 2025
Let go by G-Men
The Giants released Humphrey on Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This move comes as a bit of a surprise, as Humphrey looked to have a legitimate chance of serving as wideout depth for New York after signing with the organization March 21. The veteran wideout tallied a career-high 31 catches and 293 receiving yards over 17 regular-season games with Denver last year, adding one receiving touchdown. The Giants recently signed five receivers as undrafted free agents and needed to clear roster space, precipitating Humphrey's release.
Mar 21, 2025
Finds new team
The Giants signed Humphrey on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a career-high 31 receptions on 45 targets for 293 yards and a touchdown in 17 games with the Broncos. At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, the 26-year-old will add size and experience to a Giants' wideout corps that also includes Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt, but in his new locale, Humphrey could see a dip in volume in 2025.
Jan 9, 2025
Finishes second season in Denver
Humphrey ended the 2024 regular season with 31 receptions on 45 targets for 293 yards and a touchdown
ANALYSIS
Humphrey recorded career highs in catches, targets and yards during the 2024 campaign while appearing in all 17 games for the second straight season. With that said, the veteran wideout was not a major part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season, operating in a depth role behind Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin. Humphrey will head into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but its possible his long-standing connection with head coach Sean Payton could help him to get another contract offer from the Broncos if he doesn't land with a new team in 2025.
Nov 25, 2024
Modest production in win
Humphrey caught two of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
After scoring his first touchdown and recording a season-high 52 yards in Week 11, Humphrey came crashing back down to Earth against the Raiders in Week 12. The veteran played 38 of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow wide receivers Courtland Sutton (58) and Devaughn Vele (44). Humphrey's inconsistent nature make him an unreliable option for fantasy purposes. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Browns on Monday Night Football.
Nov 18, 2024
Hits pay dirt in win
Humphrey caught all four of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey's trip to the end zone was his first of the season, while his 52 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the 2024 campaign. The veteran wideout's playing time, however, dipped in Week 11, earning a 44 percent offensive snap share after playing 59 percent of snaps in Week 10. Though Denver's offense is seemingly finding its way as the season progresses, Humphrey remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes based on his inconsistent usage. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old will look to build upon this performance when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 12.
Nov 11, 2024
Two grabs in Week 10
Humphrey secured two of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey played a solid 59 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday, but Denver's No. 3 receiver was unable to get much going against Kansas City. The 26-year-old has failed to record more at least 50 receiving yards in all but one game so far this season, making him an extremely unreliable option for fantasy purposes. Humphrey should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.
Nov 4, 2024
Minimal production in loss
Humphrey caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey played 35 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps Sunday, finishing second in wide receiver snaps behind Courtland Sutton (61). Additionally, the veteran wideout also earned the second-most targets behind Sutton while operating as the team's No. 2 receiver. Humphrey is having an underwhelming 2024 campaign, recording just 21 receptions for 188 yards through nine games. The 26-year-old should not be trusted for fantasy purposes as the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 10.
Oct 28, 2024
Targeted six times against Panthers
Humphrey secured four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey played the second-most offensive snaps (44) at wide receiver Sunday, behind Courtland Sutton (61) and ahead of Troy Franklin (27), Devaughn Vele (25) and Marvin Mims (21). Operating as the Broncos' No. 2 wideout, the 26-year-old Humphrey was unable to make much noise for fantasy purposes, continuing his underwhelming season. The veteran has failed to find the end zone through eight weeks and remains extremely difficult to trust despite his increased playing time in recent weeks. Humphrey and the Broncos will visit the Ravens in Week 9.
Oct 18, 2024
Limited production in Week 7
Humphrey caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 33-10 win over the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey finished the contest tied for the second-most offensive snaps (33) among wide receivers with Troy Franklin, yet he was unable to get much going from a fantasy perspective. Quarterback Bo Nix completed just 16 passes for 164 yards against the Saints, and as the rookie continues to find his footing, its reasonable to expect Denver's pass catchers to put up inconsistent performances. Nonetheless, Humphrey and the Broncos head into a Week 8 matchup against a vulnerable Panthers defense, which could lead to more opportunities for Denver's skill-position players.
Oct 15, 2024
One grab against Chargers
Humphrey secured his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was minimally involved in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, playing 35 percent of offensive snaps after playing 64 percent of snaps in Week 5. The wideout's decreased playing time made way for fellow receivers Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele to see a larger workload in the contest. In a passing attack that has been inconsistent so far in 2024, Humphrey should not be trusted for consistent production. The 26-year-old veteran will look to bounce back when the Broncos visit the Saints in Week 7.
Oct 8, 2024
Two grabs in Week 5
Humphrey secured both of his targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
After failing to record a catch in Week 4, Humphrey improved upon his disappointing outing with a two-catch game against the Raiders in Week 5. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix and Denver's passing attack took a step forward Sunday, as the signal caller was able to spread the ball around to 11 different pass catchers in the contest. The 26-year-old Humphrey played the second-most snaps at wide receiver for the Broncos, seeing the field for 40 of Denver's 63 offensive snaps. As Denver continues to find its way on offense, its possible the veteran could parlay his consistent playing time into improved production for fantasy purposes. Humphrey and the Broncos will host the Chargers in Week 6.
Oct 1, 2024
Non-factor in Week 4
Humphrey failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
After recording catching eight of 13 targets for 87 yards over the previous two contests, Humphrey saw a major dip in his utilization Sunday. The veteran wideout played 42 of the Broncos' 61 offensive snaps Sunday, behind only Courtland Sutton (48) in the receiving corps. The entire Broncos aerial attack was grounded Sunday with rookie quarterback Bo Nix mustering just 60 passing yards against a stingy Jets defense. Though it appears Humphrey was been building chemistry with Nix, the inconsistency of Denver's offense will make the 26-year-old wideout difficult to trust for fantasy purposes most weeks. The Broncos will host the Raiders in Week 5.
Sep 22, 2024
Stays busy in Week 3 win
Humphrey brought in six of eight targets for 37 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey finished right behind Courtland Sutton for the team lead in receptions while also qualifying as a distant second to his teammate in receiving yards and as the runner-up in targets. Humphrey, who is well versed in head coach Sean Payton's offense from their time together in New Orleans, has quickly built chemistry with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, as the sixth-year pro now sports a 10-87 line on 13 targets over the last two games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets.
Sep 21, 2024
Signs with Denver
Humphrey signed a contract with the Broncos on Saturday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was out of practice-squad elevations, so this move isn't entirely surprising. The long-time Bronco put together a solid performance in Week 2 tallying 50 receiving yards despite a dismal display overall by the offense. It's unlikely those same opportunities will be available in Week 3 as Devaughn Vele is cleared to play after missing the previous week due to a ribs injury.
Sep 16, 2024
Goes back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Like he was before the Broncos' season-opening loss at Seattle, Humphrey was elevated prior to the team's Week 2 game, but he played a far bigger role. His snap share increased from 30 to 77 percent, and he hauled in four of five targets for 50 yards as a result. The increased workload for Humphrey may have been spurred by the absence of rookie WR Devaughn Vele (ribs), but in any case the former seems poised to be a regular in three-wide sets along with Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds for as long as Vele is sidelined.
Sep 15, 2024
Moves back to active roster
Humphrey was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was also called up to the active roster in Week 1, playing 21 snaps on offense and unable to reel in his lone target. With Devaughn Vele (ribs) out of action for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Humphrey may find himself with extra opportunities in the Week 2 matchup.
Sep 9, 2024
Goes back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey played 21 offensive snaps during the Broncos' loss at Seattle in Week 1, but he drew just one target, which fell incomplete. Given his healthy involvement in the offense though, there's a decent chance he'll get called on to suit up again in Week 2.
Sep 7, 2024
Elevated for Week 1
The Broncos elevated Humphrey to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was unable to make the Broncos' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. He played in all 17 regular-season games for Denver in 2023, finishing with 13 catches (on 19 targets) for 162 yards and three touchdowns.
Aug 29, 2024
Stays mile high
Humphrey signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey appeared in all 17 regular-season games for Denver last season, but he only secured 13 catches on 19 targets for 162 yards and three touchdowns. However, it was enough to be brought back on a one-year deal. Even though wasn't able to secure a spot on the 53-man roster, he'll now have the opportunity to work his way back there.
Aug 27, 2024
Released by Denver
Humphrey was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey re-signed with the Broncos in March after compiling 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 13 catches over 17 games with the team in 2023, but he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere. He has appeared in at least three contests in each of the last five NFL seasons and will likely find a new suitor in the near future.
Mar 13, 2024
Back with Denver on one-year deal
Humphrey is re-signing with the Broncos on a one-year contract, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey had 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns with Denver in 2023. He could have an opportunity to climb the depth chart after the Broncos traded Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland last Saturday, though Humphrey has yet to reach 250 receiving yards in a season since debuting with the Saints in 2019.
Jan 14, 2024
Scores three touchdowns in 2023
Humphrey ended the 2023 season with 13 receptions on 19 targets for 162 yards and three touchdowns.
ANALYSIS
In his first year with the Broncos, Humphrey played in all 17 games despite moving between Denver's practice squad and active roster throughout the season. The veteran wideout wasn't used much as an offensive weapon, but he was still able to finish the season tied with tight end Adam Trautman for the third-most scores among all Broncos pass catchers. Humphrey is set to become a free agent this offseason, so the 25-year-old could find himself in a new locale when the 2024 campaign begins. If he signs back with Denver, he'll likely find it difficult to see consistent playing time behind fellow wideouts Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Marvin Mims.
Dec 31, 2023
Incredible individual effort for TD
Humphrey caught two of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey made the play of the game in the second quarter when he took a short pass from Jarrett Stidham and proceeded to juke and jive his way past several certain tackle opportunities before extending the ball past the goal line for a 54-yard touchdown. It was the only touchdown either team would record Sunday. It would have also counted as the game-winning score in hockey after the wideout's incredible play gave Denver a lead it would never surrender. While Lil'Jordan had the best game out of any receiver, it is important to point out that his four targets finished third for the Broncos behind starters Jerry Jeudy and Brandon Johnson. Perhaps Humphrey's impressive catch and run will earn him more snaps and targets when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 18.
Dec 13, 2023
Plays more than Mims again
Humphrey logged 38 of the Broncos' 67 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a 12-yard reception in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
For the second week in a row, Humphrey worked as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver ahead of rookie Marvin Mims, taking on a 57 percent snap share to Mims' 37 percent. Though his playing time appears to be on the rise, Humphrey is typically little more than a tertiary option in the passing game while he often shares the field with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Javonte Williams. Humphrey has drawn exactly one target in five straight contests.
Nov 15, 2023
Records one catch in Week 10
Humphrey played 14 of Denver's 75 snaps on offense and reeled in his lone target for a 14-yard reception in Monday's 24-22 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey ranked a distant fourth among Denver receivers in snaps, trailing Courtland Sutton (65), Marvin Mims (52) and Jerry Jeudy (49). With the rookie Mims beginning to carve out a larger role and with head coach Sean Payton continue to show a proclivity for two-tight end sets, Humphrey doesn't look as though he'll be able to reclaim significant snaps anytime soon.
Oct 25, 2023
Back to active roster
Humphrey was elevated to the Broncos' active roster Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey will continue his trend of being elevated ahead of each of the Broncos' contests this year, joining the active roster for eighth consecutive contest. The wide receiver has caught four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown while playing 121 offensive snaps this season.
Oct 23, 2023
Back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey has been doing the back-and-forth from the practice squad and active roster most of the season, as he's appeared in all seven games to this point, catching four passes for 26 yards and one touchdown on five targets as a deep reserve.
Oct 21, 2023
Back with Broncos
Denver signed Humphrey to its practice squad and elevated him to the team's active roster ahead of Sunday's game against Green Bay, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
It didn't take long for the Broncos to bring Humphrey back, as the 25-year-old was let go Friday after the team claimed Keondre Coburn off waivers. The Texas product has bounced back and forth between Denver's practice squad and active roster this year. He's appeared in all six of the Broncos' games thus far, recording four receptions for 26 yards and one touchdown.
Oct 20, 2023
Let go by Broncos
Denver released Humphrey on Friday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos claimed nose tackle Keondre Coburn off waivers from the Chiefs on Friday, and Humphrey was the corresponding roster move. Humphrey had just been signed to the active roster Wednesday after bouncing between the 53-man roster and practice squad through the early part of the campaign. He's played in all six of Denver's contests this season, tallying four catches on five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown.
Oct 18, 2023
Signed to active roster
The Broncos signed Humphrey from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey will rejoin Denver's active roster where he spent time earlier this season before being released and signed to the practice squad last week. So far this year the 25-year-old has caught four of his five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in six games and will look to add to those numbers versus the Packers on Sunday.
Oct 14, 2023
Back to practice squad
Humphries reverted back to the Broncos' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos elevated Humphries to their active roster for Thursday's loss to the Chiefs. He ultimately saw 12 offensive snaps (24 percent). The depth receiver has four receptions for 26 yards and one touchdown in six games this season. He will now continue to put in work at practice and await another opportunity to be called up.
Oct 12, 2023
Up from practice squad
Humphrey was elevated to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The wide receiver was released from the active roster Wednesday before being re-signed to the practice squad. Humphrey has four catches for 26 yards and a touchdown in five games this season. At the same time, the fifth-year pro's playing time has gone down since he played 71 percent of the snaps in Week 1.
Oct 11, 2023
Gets released by Denver
The Broncos released Humphrey on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey has seen just five targets through five games in 2023, and he's now set to become a free agent after Denver decided to part ways with him Wednesday. His departure leaves just four wideouts on the Broncos' active roster.
Sep 19, 2023
Catches one pass in loss
Humphrey caught one of his two targets for four yards in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey saw a major dip in his snap share percentage Sunday, taking the field for 32 percent of the Broncos offensive plays after reaching a 71 percent snap share in Week 1. The veteran wideout's drop in usage was expected with the return of Jerry Jeudy into the lineup. With that said, Humphrey still worked ahead of Marvin Mims, but it was the rookie who made the most of his opportunities with a 60-yard touchdown grab. Humphrey could likely see his chances limited even more going forward if Mims can continue to take advantage of his playmaking ability in Denver's passing attack. The 25-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Dolphins in Week 3.
Sep 13, 2023
Brought up to active roster
Humphrey was promoted to Denver's active roster Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey will fill the roster spot created when the Broncos placed safety Caden Sterns (knee) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old wide receiver was elevated from the practice squad for the team's season opener against the Raiders and made the most of his opportunity, catching both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown. Humphrey has been rewarded with a permanent spot in a receiving corps that could be without Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) again Sunday against the Commanders.
Sep 11, 2023
Returns to practice squad
Humphrey was reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Raiders, reeling both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown while playing 41 out of the team's 64 offensive snaps. If Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) is unavailable again in Week 2 versus the Commanders, it's possible that the wide receiver is elevated to the active roster once again.
Sep 9, 2023
Added to 53-man roster
Humphrey was elevated to the Broncos' active roster Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey joined the Broncos' practice squad on Aug. 30 after being let go by the team the day before. His elevation to the active roster, along with fellow wideout Phillip Dorsett, may indicate that Jerry Jeudy will not suit up for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Raiders.
Aug 30, 2023
Added to practice squad
Humphrey joined the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey led the Broncos with eight receptions on 12 targets for 113 receiving yards during the preseason, but that was not enough to get him through final roster cuts. However, his strong training camp secured him a spot on the practice squad, where he will now continue to work at making an impression.
Aug 29, 2023
Let loose by Broncos
Denver released Humphrey on Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey signed with the Broncos in early March after bouncing between New England's practice squad and active roster last season. The wideout led Denver with eight catches, 12 targets and 113 receiving yards during exhibition play, but that wasn't enough to earn him a spot on the active roster. Given his strong training camp, it wouldn't be surprising if Humphrey ends up on Denver's practice squad.
Mar 7, 2023
Finds work in Denver
The Broncos signed Humphrey on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey jumped back-and-forth between New England's practice squad and their active roster throughout the 2022 campaign, as he ultimately appeared in six games for the Patriots before being let go in November. The 24-year-old wide receiver is now slated to compete for one of Denver's roster spots throughout the offseason and into training camp.
Nov 15, 2022
Let go Tuesday
Humphrey was cut from the Patriots' practice squad Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey played in each of New England's first six games this season, recording two catches on four targets for 20 yards. The 24-year-old was previously let go by the Patriots this season and subsequently brought back, which could happen again. If not, Humphrey will work to earn an opportunity elsewhere.
Oct 17, 2022
Bumped down to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was waived by New England on Tuesday before re-signing with the team's practice squad Thursday. The 24-year was then activated to the active roster with wide receiver Nelson Agholor (hamstring) sidelined for Week 6. Humphrey ultimately did not record a statistic while playing just one special-teams snap during this 38-15 win over the Browns, and he'll now be eligible for two more elevations from the Patriots' practice squad this season.
Oct 16, 2022
Moved up from practice squad
The Patriots elevated Humphrey from the practice squad Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Nelson Agholor (hamstring) getting downgraded to out for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Humphrey will move up from the practice squad to bolster the Patriots' depth at receiver. While playing in all five of the Patriots' games to date, Humphrey has produced only two receptions for 20 yards across 125 snaps on offense.
Oct 13, 2022
Staying with Pats
The Patriots re-signed Humphrey to the practice squad Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey opened the regular season on New England's practice squad and was elevated for the season opener before signing to the active roster shortly thereafter. However, the fourth-year wideout saw his playing time fall over each of the past three weeks and was waived Tuesday. Humphrey should now be a likely candidate for subsequent game-day activations moving forward.
Oct 11, 2022
Let go Tuesday
Humphrey was waived by the Patriots on Tuesday,
ANALYSIS
Humphrey had played in all five games for the Patriots this season, recording two catches for 20 yards on four targets. He'll now work to find an opportunity elsewhere.
Sep 26, 2022
On the field for 54 snaps Sunday
Humphrey logged 54 of a possible 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-26 loss to the Ravens, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being second among the Patriots wideouts in terms of snaps in Week 3, Humphrey didn't record a catch (on one target) in the contest. For now, the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is off the fantasy radar, though his versatility (Humphrey saw TE reps in training camp) and blocking ability could keep earn him a share of playing time in the weeks ahead.
Sep 19, 2022
Catches one pass Sunday
Humphrey was on the field for 26 of a possible 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Steelers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In the process, Humphrey caught one of his two targets for 11 yards in Week 2. For now, the 24-year-old is off the fantasy radar while working as a depth option in a New England wideout corps that also includes Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne.
Sep 13, 2022
Joins 53-man roster
Humphrey was signed to the Patriots' active roster Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was elevated to the Patriots' active roster prior to last Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins, as fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) was listed as questionable for the contest. Meyers ended up playing, and the 225-pounder subsequently reverted back to the team's practice squad Monday. However, with RB Ty Montgomery (knee) being placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Humphrey was signed to New England's active roster once again. The 24-year-old provides the team with added WR depth ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, and he could serve as a contributor on special teams.
Sep 12, 2022
Reverts to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphry saw the field for three snaps on offense and one on special teams, but he failed to record any stats. The 24-year-old, will work to earn another shot on the active roster during practice this week.
Sep 10, 2022
Elevated from practice squad
The Patriots have elevated Humphrey from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Jakobi Meyers (knee) listed as questionable for the contest, Humphrey provides the Patriots with some added Week 1 wideout depth, plus he's also an option to contribute on special teams if he's active Sunday.
Aug 31, 2022
Lands on Patriots practice squad
Humphrey has been added to the Patriots' practice squad.
ANALYSIS
As was Tre Nixon, which gives the Patriots' some in-house promotion options should injuries hit the team's wideout corps, which is currently led by DeVante Parker, Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.
Aug 30, 2022
Let go by Patriots
The Patriots are slated to waive Humphrey, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The same applies to fellow depth wideout Tre Nixon, with the report noting that both players are candidates to resurface on the Patriots' practice squad.
Aug 22, 2022
Sees some TE reps
Humphrey relayed Monday that he's seen some reps at tight end in training camp, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
If the 6-foot-4, 225 pounder-- who is listed as a wide receiver -- demonstrates that he has the versatility to play some tight end, it could potentially help him land a roster spot. Though two preseason games, Humphrey has logged 11 catches for 133 yards and TD, while also making a mark on special teams.
Jun 15, 2022
Joins New England via one-year deal
The Patriots signed Humphrey to a one-year contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
There were reports that the wideout would be returning to the Saints, but the undrafted product out of Texas opted to sign with New England instead. In the absence of Michael Thomas (ankle), the 24-year-old complied a career-high 249 receiving yards across 10 games last season, but he faces a crowded wide receiver room with his new squad.
Mar 31, 2022
Re-ups with Saints
New Orleans re-signed Humphrey, a restricted free agent, to a contract Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey recently dealt with an ankle injury, per Underhill, but he's fully on track for the start of the offseason program. After compiling a career-high 249 receiving yards through 10 games last season, Humphrey figures to once again compete for a depth role with the Saints.
Jan 16, 2022
Contributes down the stretch
Humphrey caught 13 of 18 targets for 249 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games during the 2021 season.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey missed seven games between injuries, coach's decisions and COVID protocols, but he was a regular part of the rotation over the second half of the season despite Tre'Quan Smith's return to the lineup. However, the 6-foot-4 only saw more than two targets twice and only once was he targeted in the red zone. While Humphrey's status as an exclusive-rights free agent almost guarantees that he'll be back in New Orleans in 2022, each of Michael Thomas, Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris will probably be back as well, and it's possible other talents are added to the mix.
Jan 2, 2022
Two catches in win
Humphrey caught both his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
The Saints' passing tree was very narrow in this one, as only Marquez Callaway and Alvin Kamara saw more targets or had more production than Humphrey. It was a disappointing performance for the 23-year-old after he set a career high with 70 yards last week, but he'll get one more chance in the regular season to make a splash as New Orleans faces Atlanta in Week 18 with a possible wild-card berth on the line.
Jan 2, 2022
Good to go Week 17
Humphrey (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John DeShazier of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey dealt with a non-COVID illness late in the week, but he'll be out there against Carolina for the late-season divisional clash. The 23-year-old is coming off a career-best three-catch, 70-yard performance against the Dolphins in Week 16, numbers he generated with rookie Ian Book at quarterback.
Dec 31, 2021
Iffy for Week 17
The Saints list Humphrey as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers with an illness.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was a late addition to the Saints' Week 17 injury report after he failed to practice Friday upon coming down with the ailment. The wideout hasn't been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and should have a shot at being available Sunday, provided he makes good progress in his recovery over the next 48 hours. With three catches for 70 yards on five targets in the Week 16 loss to Miami, Humphrey was one of the few Saints skill-position players to deliver a useful fantasy line in the game, though his involvement in the passing game could take a step back with Deonte Harris (suspension) back in action this weekend following a three-game hiatus.
Dec 29, 2021
Secures long bomb in garbage time
Humphrey caught three of five targets for 70 yards during Monday's 20-3 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
The majority of Humphrey's production came on a 56-yard bomb in the closing minutes of garbage time. Otherwise, he didn't do much, just like every other Saints' pass catcher that had to make due with fourth-string rookie quarterback Ian Book. None of them, Humphrey included, will be advisable fantasy options if Book remains under center in Week 17 against Carolina.
Dec 19, 2021
Back in action Sunday
Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Tampa Bay, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out one game due to a hamstring issue, Humphrey managed a pair of limited practices to close out Week 15 prep, setting himself up for a potential return to action. Now that it's official, he'll work with quarterback Taysom Hill for the second time this season. Back in a Week 13 loss to the Cowboys, Humphrey hauled in both of his targets for 49 yards and one touchdown.
Dec 17, 2021
Questionable to suit up
Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Rod Walker of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey missed last week's win over the Jets after a Thursday addition to the injury report, but he could make it back this Sunday after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday. Even if that happens, he'll only be the No. 3 receiver in an unimpressive passing offense, and with some risk of a game-time decision ahead of the 8:20 ET kickoff Sunday night. If Humphrey is out, Kenny Stills likely will fill in as the No. 3 receiver again.
Dec 16, 2021
Practices in limited fashion
Humphrey (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The limited session marks a step forward for Humphrey, who didn't participate in practice last Friday due to the hamstring injury before sitting out Sunday's win over the Jets. He remained idle for the Saints' first Week 15 practice Wednesday, but Humphrey's return to the field Thursday should give him a chance at being available this weekend in Tampa Bay. If he's cleared to suit up, Humphrey could serve as the Saints' No. 3 receiver, a role that Kenny Stills filled last week to little success (no targets on 27 snaps).
Dec 15, 2021
Not ready for practice
Humphrey (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
With Humphrey trending in the wrong direction and Deonte Harris suspended for two more games, Kenny Stills may get another shot in the No. 3 receiver role this Sunday against Tampa Bay. The role didn't amount to much in Sunday's win over the Jets, with Stills unable to draw a target on 27 snaps (39 percent).
Dec 12, 2021
Takes seat Sunday
Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday at the Jets, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey logged progressively fewer practice reps as Week 14 prep ensued, showing up on Thursday's injury report as limited before sitting out Friday's session entirely due to a hamstring issue. The Saints' receiving corps is down Michael Thomas (ankle), Deonte Harris (suspension), Ty Montgomery (COVID-19 and Humphrey on Sunday, leaving Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, Kenny Stills, Kevin White and Easop Winston as wideouts available to quarterback Taysom Hill.
Dec 10, 2021
Status in question for Sunday
Humphrey (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Jets, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey made a sudden appearance on the Saints' practice report Thursday as limited with a hamstring injury, which didn't allow him to practice at all Friday. Still, the team is leaving open the possibility for Humphrey to play Sunday, likely due to Deonte Harris serving a three-game suspension and Ty Montgomery residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Assuming he gets cleared when New Orleans releases its inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Humphrey will join Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway, at least, as wide receivers available to the offense.
Dec 9, 2021
Tending to hamstring injury
Humphrey was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey has been a fringe member of the Saints' receiving corps this season and a healthy inactive on multiple occasions, but his status suddenly bears monitoring due to the depleted state of the position group heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. With Deonte Harris set to begin serving a three-game suspension this week, Ty Montgomery (illness) landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday and now Humphrey tending to an injury, the Saints are currently without any healthy depth behind starters Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway. So long as Humphrey can return to practice in some fashion Friday, he should remain the leading candidate to join Smith and Callaway in three-receiver sets Week 14, but the 23-year-old is still best viewed as little more than a dart throw in DFS lineups. Over his three-year career, Humphrey has totaled 10 receptions for 173 yards and three touchdowns across 14 games.
Dec 3, 2021
Gets into end zone Thursday
Humphrey secured both targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 27-17 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey checked in a distant second to Deonte Harris in receiving yards, but he was able to get into the end zone via a 24-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter. The 23-year-old now has a pair of touchdown catches in the last three games, while his yardage totals over the last pair of contests -- he also posted 47 yards against the Bills on Thanksgiving night -- are the two highest of his career. Humphrey's next opportunity to keep building on his numbers comes in a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets a week from Sunday.
Nov 14, 2021
Not facing Tennessee
Humphrey is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Saints activated Humphrey off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, but he was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Titans. His next chance to play will come Nov. 21 at Philadelphia. Humphrey has one reception for 27 yards in three games this season.
Nov 10, 2021
Activated off COVID-19 list
The Saints activated Humphrey off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was placed onto the Saints reserve/COVID-19 list before Week 8. The receiver tested positive for the virus and was forced to miss Week 8 and 9 for New Orleans. Expect Humphrey's return to the field to have a minimal impact on the Saints' offense.
Oct 27, 2021
Added to reserve/COVID-19 list
Humphrey (illness) was added to the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and will have to get two negative tests at least 24 hours apart at some point before he can be activated. Humphrey played in Week 7 versus the Seahawks for the first time since Week 2 after being a healthy scratch for three games in a row, he did not get a catch.
Oct 10, 2021
Healthy scratch again
Humphrey (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game at Washington.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey caught one of two targets for 27 yards while playing 56 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2, but he's now a healthy scratch for the third straight game. Kenny Stills and Chris Hogan should operate as depth wideouts Sunday for New Orleans.
Sep 26, 2021
Healthy scratch for Week 3
Humphrey (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey appeared to be in line for a bigger role after he logged 55 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2 compared to the 29 percent he played during Week 1. However, that isn't the case as the 6-foot-4 wideout has been ruled a healthy scratch for Week 3. Kenny Stills, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, and Chris Hogan will be the key beneficiaries of Humphrey's absence.
Sep 20, 2021
Gets involved in passing game
Humphrey caught one of two targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey wasn't in the starting lineup this time around, but he jumped from 29 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1 to 55 percent Sunday despite the Saints needing a pass-heavy approach most of the game. While this jump in playing time resulted in a couple of targets for him after Humphrey didn't see any in the season opener, the 6-foot-4 receiver will likely continue to see his biggest offensive contributions come as a blocker.
Sep 14, 2021
No targets in Week 1
Humphrey logged 18 offensive snaps but was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 38-3 win over Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey drew the start opposite Marquez Callaway, but he ultimately logged just 29 percent of the offensive snaps compared to 84 for Callaway and 44 for Deonte Harris. Moreover, the 6-foot-4 receiver largely focuses on blocking tasks when he does see the field, so it's hard to get excited about Humphrey's fantasy potential even if he is a starter in the absence of Michael Thomas and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring). Next up for the Saints is a Week 2 home game against the Saints.
Aug 24, 2021
Scores again
Humphrey caught four passes for 74 yards and one touchdown during Monday's 23-21 preseason victory over Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-4 Humphrey found the end zone for a second straight exhibition game, this time on a back-shoulder pass from Taysom Hill. While the Saints have a number of candidates to help fill the void at receiver while Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (undisclosed) work their way back from injury, Humphrey is making a strong case to be near the top of the rotation. Other candidates for snaps behind Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris include Ty Montgomery, Chris Hogan and Kawaan Baker.
Jan 19, 2021
Earns future deal
Humphrey signed a reserve/future contract with the Saints on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey played in the final three regular-season games, and he logged a 54 percent snap share in the wild-card win over the Bears. Over those four contests, Humphrey recorded four receptions (six targets) for 60 yards and a touchdown. While he's not expected to crack the starting lineup anytime soon, Humphrey could add a depth role in the Big Easy next year.
Jan 11, 2021
Shifts to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey finished third among Saints' wide receivers with 45 snaps on offense (54 percent) in Sunday's wild-card win over the Bears, although he was held to just one 14-yard reception on his lone target. The Saints put a lot of trust in Humphrey for a playoff game, so he stands a good chance to be elevated from the practice squad for the NFC divisional-round game against the Buccaneers.
Jan 9, 2021
Lifted from practice squad
The Saints elevated Humphrey from the practice squad Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Michael Thomas (ankle) is back from IR, Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) is still unavailable, so Humphrey will add depth at wide receiver in Sunday's wild-card game against the Bears. The 22-year-old will be one of seven healthy wideouts for the Saints. Through three games this season, Humphrey has caught three passes for 48 yards and a touchdown.
Jan 5, 2021
Shifts to practice roster
Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey logged 23 snaps on offense and reeled in his lone target for a 17-yard gain. The 22-year-old wideout served as depth for the final three games of the year, and he could be summoned again in the playoffs if Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) are unavailable.
Jan 2, 2021
Moves back to active roster
Humphrey was elevated to the Saints' active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey is on track to provide depth at wide receiver Sunday against the Panthers with the Saints missing a handful of starters, including Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle). Humphrey has logged a total of 43 offensive snaps throughout the team's past two games, but he's only seen four targets during this span.
Dec 26, 2020
Goes back to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey was called up for a second straight week because both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) are on injured reserve. The 22-year-old wide receiver scored his first career touchdown last week, but he was blanked by the Vikings in Friday's 52-33 win. With Thomas and Smith both out Week 17 as well, Humphrey could be back on the active roster for the season finale against Carolina.
Dec 24, 2020
Rejoins New Orleans for Week 16
The Saints elevated Humphrey from their practice squad Thursday, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After Michael Thomas (ankle) was moved to injured reserve and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) exited early in last week's loss to the Chiefs, Humphrey ended up finishing the contest as the team's No. 3 receiver behind Emmanuel Sanders and Juwan Johnson. Humphrey was able to make an impact while playing 49 percent of the offensive snaps, hauling in two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown. Smith has since been moved to IR, but the Saints activated Marquez Callaway (knee) in a corresponding move, so Humphrey could be bumped down to the No. 4 role in New Orleans' Christmas Day matchup with the Vikings.
Dec 21, 2020
Gets TD, reverts to practice squad
Humphrey reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey enjoyed an eventful Week 15, fielding 27 of 55 offensive snaps while reeling in two of four targets for 29 yards against Kansas City. The Texas standout's 17-yard touchdown catch with 2:06 remaining in regulation helped pulled New Orleans to within three points, but the Chiefs would subsequently ice the game by way of a seven-play, 34-yard drive.
Dec 21, 2020
First NFL touchdown
Humphrey corralled two of four targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 32-29 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Activated to the active roster Saturday, Humphrey got his first taste of 2020 NFL action and immediately made an impact. The second-year man drew only one target as a rookie and finished his inaugural campaign without a catch. He lassoed his first receptions as a pro and his first touchdown in the process. Humphrey could stay involved to finish out the regular season with Michael Thomas (ankle) on injured reserve.
Dec 19, 2020
Bumps to active roster
The Saints elevated Humphrey to the active roster Saturday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey hasn't yet appeared in a game for the Saints this season, but it looks like he could get some work against the Chiefs on Sunday. With Michael Thomas (ankle) on IR, Drew Brees could have to lean on his depth receivers a bit more than usual.
Dec 9, 2020
Cleared from injury
The Saints activated Humphrey (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey had resided on the list with the undisclosed issue since Sept. 30, so it's good news that he's been cleared from injury. The Texas product will return to the practice squad to battle for a 53-man roster spot in New Orleans or elsewhere around the league.
Sep 30, 2020
Dealing with injury
The Saints placed Humphrey (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what Humphrey is dealing with, but the Saints signed WR Malik Henry to operate on the practice squad in his place for the time being.
Sep 9, 2020
Drops to waivers
Humphrey was waived by the Saints on Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Humphrey played five games with the Saints last year but didn't record a catch over 53 offensive snaps. He was unable to secure a roster spot in 2020, and he will likely need to settle for a practice-squad role to begin the season.
Jan 8, 2020
Catchless in rookie campaign
Humphrey ended his 2019 rookie campaign with no receptions on one target across five games.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie out of Texas logged just 53 snaps on offense and seven on special teams, spending the majority of the year on the Saints' practice squad. He ended the year on the active roster, appearing in Week 17 against Carolina and in the wild card round against Minnesota, and he'll try to carve out a more regular role in 2020.
