Kansas City fans face a nervy wait to find out whether Patrick Mahomes will be available for their must-win game on Sunday night.
The Chiefs will be looking to end their two-game losing streak, which has kick-started their season, when they take on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
However, they have been dealt an early blow to those hopes after Mahomes was added to the Chiefs' injury report with a right wrist issue.
Mahomes did take part in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but it remains to be seen just how severe the injury to the quarterback's throwing arm could be.
Mahomes has not made mention of the injury during any media appearances this week, which will give Chiefs fans a glimmer of hope that he will be available.
Kansas City have endured a rough start to the new season after already falling to defeats against the Chargers and the Eagles.

The Chiefs will need Mahomes if they are to end their two-game losing streak
During those two games, Mahomes has completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 187 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking seven carries for 66 yards.
In their recent loss to the Eagles - a rematch from the Super Bowl earlier this year -Travis Kelce suffered disaster in the fourth quarter.
The tight end dropped a potential touchdown catch into the hands of an Eagles defender for an interception - before the Chiefs went on to lose 20-17.
Yet despite Kelce's error dominating headlines, Chiefs quarterback Mahomes said his throw was to blame for the interception, admitting he should have put it 'more on his body'.
'I just threw it a tad too early,' Mahomes 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.'
He then continued: '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.
The injury report claims that Mahomes has been dealing with a right wrist issue
'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.'
Mahomes has now suffered three straight defeats with the Chiefs for the very first time, having also been toppled by the Eagles in last season's Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs QB was spotted out for birthday celebrations with wife Brittany, Kelce and his partner Taylor Swift.
The group photo also showed Taylor wrapping her arm around Patrick's wife, Brittany.
