ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (WIBW) - Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif will miss the next 4-6 weeks after breaking his hand in practice, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport says the recovery timeline gives him a chance to play in Week 1 as the Chiefs host the Cleveland Browns Sept. 12.
He adds LDT will not need surgery.
Duvernay-Tardif started for the Chiefs in their Super Bowl LIV win. He then opted out of the 2020 season to serve on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sports Illustrated named him the 2020 Sportsperson of the Year for his work in healthcare.
