Humphrey began the 2022 season on the Patriots practice squad and was elevated to the active roster for the regular-season opener. The 24-year-old signed to the 53-man roster on Sept. 13 and has appeared in all five games this year with two starts, primarily serving as a blocker in the run game.
With Humphrey out of the picture, the Patriots' receiving corps consists of Thornton, DeVante Parker, Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne, and Nelson Agholor.
