The Chiefs are going to ride the proverbial hot hand at left tackle. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Kansas City will start Joe Thuney at the position over D.J. Humphries. Thuney took over as starting left tackle in Week 15 after Humphries suffered a hamstring injury the week before.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, All-Pro guard Joe Thuney will get the call at left tackle over D.J. Humphries to start against the Houston Texans, marking his fourth game at the position.

The Kansas City Chiefs don't have many unanswered questions as they prepare for their first taste of playoff action in 2025. For the most part, the well-rested back-to-back champions are set to turn their December developments into January victories.

Three Chiefs — defensive lineman Chris Jones, center Creed Humphrey and guard/tackle Joe Thuney — were selected to the Players All-Pro team this week. The NFL players themselves determine this annual all-star team via the NFL Players Association — players vote for others at their position as well as positions against which they line up.

With a 15-2 regular season in the books, the Kansas City Chiefs achieved tremendous success in the last several months. That's largely due to their star talent on both sides of the ball, which helped fuel the team en route to capturing the No.

Former long-time Cardinals starter at left tackle D.J. Humphries has been benched ahead of Kansas City's matchup against the Houston Texans according to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler:

Stay tuned for live updates throughout the day. The Chiefs defeated Houston 27-19 just before Christmas. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went 28-for-41 for 260 yards, while Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 23-of-39 passes for 244 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

For the second time since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, a conference welcomes back the same four teams from to the divisional round of the playoffs as the year before. The matchups are different than a year ago.

The Kansas City Chiefs were forced to move long-time guard Joe Thuney to left tackles earlier this year after veteran D.J. Humphries suffered an injury.
