The Kansas City Chiefs have activated right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif from injured reserve, waiving safety Ron Parker to make room, the team announced via its official Twitter account on Tuesday.
Duvernay-Tardif, 27, started five games for the Chiefs before suffering a fractured fibula in the team’s Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs subsequently placed Durvernay-Tardif on injured reserve but always left the door open for him to return.
Durvernay-Tardif began practicing again on December 26, starting a three-week clock in which the team had to either activate the starting right guard or place him back on injured reserve for good.
