Humphries (groin) did not practice Thursday but did some individual work, J. Michael of CSN reports.

Analysis:

Humphries has now missed more than a month with a nagging groin injury. While the individual drills are a step in the right direction, he'll need to return to full practice before getting back into games becomes a legitimate possibility. Following Thursday's session, Randy Wittman said he's hopeful that Humphries can return soon. "I hope so," Wittman said. "We can use him back."
