Thuney suffered the injury in the AFC divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.
Nick Allegretti will start in Thuney's place.
"Next-man-up mentality," Chiefs right guard Trey Smith said. "Nick is a consummate professional. He'll be ready to go. He's done a great job these past couple of weeks of preparation. Our coaches will have us prepared, and Nick will do great."
