Report: NFL rejects Duvernay-Tardif's 'M.D.' jersey request

It appears the NFL won't allow Kansas City Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif to add to his already lengthy last name on game days.

The league rejected Duvernay-Tardif's request to add "M.D." to his jersey, according to Andy Mailly-Pressoir of TVA Sports.

The Chiefs lineman, who officially became a doctor this offseason, said he began conversations with the league in February before completing his medical degree at Montreal's McGill University.

Here's what Duvernay-Tardif's jersey would've looked like had his request been approved:
