The Arizona Cardinals picked up the fifth-year contract option on offensive lineman D.J. Humphries' rookie deal on Friday DJ Moore Panthers Jersey , according to ESPN's Field Yates.聽Taken with the 24th overall pick in 2015, he has worked hard to avoid being labeled a bust, and it appears the team believes he can be a long-term asset in the desert.As a 21-year-old Cheap Sam Darnold Jersey , Humphries was inactive his entire rookie season. He has made improvements since then to earn a starting spot on the line. Unfortunately for him, staying in the lineup hasn't been easy.Humphries missed the final three games of the 2016 season while in concussion protocol. The 6'5", 307-pound lineman missed four games early last year due to an MCL sprain. He returned to the field only to be placed on injured reserve with a dislocated kneecap and an MCL injury four games later.The latest injury put a halt on his momentum."It's kind of been a chronic MCL for him because he had a brace on Terrell Edmunds Game Jersey ," then-Arizona coach Bruce Arians said at the time, per Kyle Odegard of AZCardinals.com. "That should fix that problem he's had. It's a shame, because he was playing really Authentic Andy Dalton Jersey , really well."For Sam Bradford, Mike Glennon or whoever is under center for Arizona in 2018 and beyond, protection is key. Humphries provides experience on both the left and right sides of the line.Humphries has shown glimpses when he has been on the field鈥攁nd the team is willing to bet his injuries are behind him. Nationals right-hander Erick Fedde left in the second inning of his start against the Boston Red Sox after throwing just 25 pitches.

Training staff and manager Dave Martinez went to check on Fedde after he allowed a single to Rafael Devers to lead off the second on Wednesday. After a long conversation Roquan Smith Bears Jersey , Fedde walked off the field and was replaced by lefty Matt Grace.

The 25-year-old was coming off his first major league victory last weekend in Philadelphia.

Fedde entered the game 1-3 with a 6.00 ERA in five starts this season. His 2017 season ended in early September with a right forearm flexor strain.

Washington's 2014 first-round pick had Tommy John surgery after being drafted. He's 1-4 with a 7.23 ERA in eight starts during his career with the Nationals.
