(610 Sports) – According to NFL Networks Ian Rapoport, Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif suffered a broken bone in his right hand that will keep him out 4-6 weeks.
Depending on how quickly the bone heals, Duvernay-Tardif could potentially still be ready for the Chiefs season-opener against the Cleveland Browns on Sept, 12 at Arrowhead Stadium. The eighth-year guard has been seen on the sideline of recent training camp practices working with trainers, while sporting a large wrap on his right hand.

LDT missed the entire 2020 NFL season, opting out in order to be on the front lines fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in his home town Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He has been working exclusive with the second-team offense in training camp behind rookie Tre Smith, who the Chiefs drafted in the 6th round of the NFL Draft. Smith has been the Chiefs training camp darling, consistently holding his own against the Chiefs strong defensive line group.
