The Giants and the Chiefs arrive in Week 3 at 0-2, making this matchup critical as each side searches for its first win. Kansas City hasn't started this poorly since 2014, and with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, the team has never lost three straight games, a streak now in jeopardy. The Chiefs' struggles have been defined by close calls. They lost 27-21 in Week 1 and 20-17 in Week 2, as their offense stuttered in the red zone and lacked explosive plays.

The Giants placed closer Randy Rodríguez on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 23, with an elbow sprain. Keaton Winn was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take a spot on the active roster. Manager Bob Melvin said Rodríguez is headed for a second opinion (via Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area). It's not known if that means initial evaluation suggested he was facing significant injury or if that's a merely an abundance of caution for any kind of elbow concern.

Chapman is dealing with inflammation in his right hand, and has taken a cortisone shot in an effort to try and return in a minimal amount of time.

"It was like watching a show. He would do things that we'd never seen before, and it was all impromptu. He was like a freestyle ballerina masquerading as a football player."

Coach Brian Daboll said he'd make decisions on starters after a practice, emphasizing a collaborative approach with coaches and medical staff to determine the best strategy for the team.

"It's kind of surreal that I'm even in this position. I had dreams of being in the NFL, but now I just have to put the work in day in, day out. When a dude doesn't feel like doing it, I have to. That's been my mindset."

During Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Giants star Jung Hoo Lee dodged a flying bird just before his at-bat in the bottom of the 4th inning.

Darren Waller has been traded to the Dolphins after one season with the Giants, providing the Giants with a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
