They are 0-2 after losses to the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles.

And Andy Reid has had to deal with a number of injury and suspension issues.

The form of star tight end Travis Kelce has also been a problem for the team.

Mahomes has been a rare bright spark, trying his best to get the Chiefs going.

However, the has been added to the injury report ahead of Week 3.

The Super Bowl contenders travel to take on the New York Giants this Sunday.

They face a nervy wait to find out if he’ll be fit for the game at the MetLife Stadium.

It is already a must-win tie for the Chiefs, as they fight to keep their division crown.

Mahomes is battling a right wrist issue, the one he mainly throws with.

The 30-year-old DID take part in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

However, the Chiefs are now waiting to see if the problem gets any worse.

The quarterback has thrown for a total of 445 yards so far this year.

He has two touchdowns and one interception in the two games.

The veteran was forced to defend his teammate Kelce after the loss to the Eagles.

The tight end dropped a pass that was intercepted, which would have resulted in a touchdown.

The fourth quarter mistake was a major moment in the 20-17 loss at Arrowhead.

But Mahomes took full responsibility for the error, claiming it was on him.

“I just threw it a tad too early,” he said after the game.

“Just trying to put it on his body low before that hole player got there.

“I think if I can put it more on his body, and not so far out in front of him, then he can catch it, take the hit, and get in the end zone.

“You wanna put it low, just more on his body.

“Whenever you’re in those tight quarters like that you wanna give it to them, especially a bigger guy, more on his body where he can catch it and brace for that contact.

“We knew the hole player would be looking for him. He was breaking to kind of make a hit and it was just unfortunate the ball bounced up in the air and went right to him.”
