Kadarius Toney had quite the rough opening night. 

The former Giant and current Chiefs wide receiver struggled with three drops in the NFL season opener on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Giants bust made just one catch on five targets in the Chiefs’ 21-20 loss to the Lions. 

His three drops during the game left those watching befuddled and raised questions about what his role would be in Week 2. 

The first error came in the first quarter on a third-and-6 with 11:06 remaining on the clock.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Toney cutting across the middle near midfield for a pass, but the throw bounced off the receiver’s hands and right into the grasp of Lions rookie Brian Branch. 

Branch ran it back for a pick-six to help tie the game at 14.

Toney made his second drop of the night in the third quarter when Mahomes looked for the wideout as he cut across the middle again, but Toney once again couldn’t handle the throw.

To add insult to injury, the drop came on a third down, and Toney would have gotten the Chiefs a first down had he reeled in the catch. 

The third, and perhaps the biggest difference-maker, came with 2:25 left in the game and Kansas City down by one and looking to get into field-goal range.

A deep pass hit a wide-open Toney in the hands, but he again dropped the ball.

A catch would have put the Chiefs in Lions’ territory for a chance to take the lead in the waning minutes. 

Instead, the Chiefs failed to get anything going and turned the ball over on downs.

Before the game, Mahomes told reporters going into the opener that it would be a “positive” for Toney to be on the field, especially after he recovered from offseason surgery from a partially torn meniscus. 

“To be able to go out there and have that weapon it would definitely be a huge positive,” Mahomes said at the time. “He’s done a great job in the practices that he’s been in so far and I’m looking forward to him continuing to step up.” 

Toney was traded to the Chiefs last season by the Giants, ending a disappointing tenure in the Big Apple. 

He had just 41 receptions in a season and a half in New York before helping Kansas City win a Super Bowl last year.
