What happened: The 32-year-old worked out for Washington on Tuesday before completing a one-year deal. His arrival follows the release of tackle Foster Sarell ahead of final cuts.

Why it matters: Humphries gives Washington an experienced option as the club sets its offensive line for the upcoming season. The one-year term adds depth without a multiyear commitment.

By the numbers: Humphries has appeared in 108 career games with 101 starts. He played eight games and made one start last season.

What to watch: His availability for Friday's preseason finale and role in the tackle rotation are the next markers.
