ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs will be without guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif for about four weeks because of a broken bone in his hand, a source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.
Duvernay-Tardif will not need surgery and the Chiefs are hopeful he will be available to play in their regular-season opener against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 12, the source said.
NFL Network was first to report news of Duvernay-Tardif's injury.
Duvernay-Tardif had been running as the second-team right guard behind rookie Trey Smith, a sixth-round draft choice, in training camp.
