News

  • Signs reserve/future contract

    McGuire signed a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs on Tuesday, according to the NFL's official transaction report.

    Analysis: The running back initially signed to the Chiefs' practice squad back in November and he'll now get a chance to develop in the Chiefs system this offseason. Both LeSean McCoy and Spencer Ware are slated to become free agents this offseason which could give McGuire added reps this spring.

  • Inks practice-squad deal

    McGuire signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

    Analysis: Damien Williams (ribs) and LeSean McCoy (undisclosed) were injured during Week 11's win over the Chargers, so the Chiefs are bringing in additional depth in case one or both are unable to play Sunday against the Raiders. McGuire last played in 2018 for the Jets, and he struggled on the ground with 2.7 YPC over the last four weeks but punched in three touchdowns. The 25-year-old has pass-catching upside, though, as he recorded 11 receptions for 126 yards and a score over that stretch.

  • Receives interest from Houston

    McGuire worked out for the Texans recently, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McGuire would only project as depth on this squad, barring an injury. Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson are coming off one of their best rushing games of the season, whereas the 25-year-old hasn't played an NFL snap since last year.

  • Bumped off practice squad

    McGuire was released off the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: McGuire joined Cleveland's practice squad after being waived by the team Sept. 19 but will now search for a new team. The 25-year-old spent his first two seasons with the Jets and rushed 180 times for 591 yards before being waived ahead of September's roster deadline.

  • Joins Browns' practice squad

    McGuire has been added to the Browns' practice squad.

    Analysis: McGuire, a 2017 sixth-rounder, racked up 180 carries for 591 yards and four TDs, to go along with 36 catches for 370 yards and two receiving scores for the Jets in 24 games over the course of the 2017 and 2018 campaigns. He therefore gives the Browns a depth option at running back with some recent NFL experience under his belt.

  • Waived by Cleveland

    The Browns waived McGuire on Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: McGuire signed with the Browns on Monday, but he ultimately failed to secure tenure with the team. The 2017 sixth-round pick will look to carve out a depth role elsewhere in the league.

  • Signs with Browns

    McGuire signed with the Browns on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: With Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) unavailable, the Browns are adding a third running back behind Nick Chubb and D'Ernest Johnson. It's an interesting opportunity for McGuire, with Cleveland scheduled to face his former team, the Jets, on Monday Night Football. It isn't clear whether or not McGuire will be active for the contest, but he probably won't have much of a role even if he is.

  • Heads to Cleveland's practice squad

    McGuire signed with the Browns' practice squad on Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: McGuire ended up as the odd man out in the backfield for the Jets and was let go Friday. The 25-year-old played in 24 games with the Jets over his first two seasons, rushing for 591 yards and three touchdowns with an unimpressive 3.3 YPC. He also added 36 catches for 370 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Cut loose by Jets

    The Jets cut McGuire on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Jets only have one or two spots for running backs behind roster locks Le'Veon Bell and Ty Montgomery. Given his preseason averages of 2.6 yards per carry and 6.8 per reception, McGuire became a longshot to beat out Bilal Powell or Trenton Cannon. The 2017 sixth-round pick has shown decent ability as a pass catcher out of the backfield, but a career mark of 3.3 YPC could scare other teams away.

  • No running room in preseason finale

    McGuire rushed 14 times for 29 yards and caught all five of his targets for 35 yards in Thursday's 6-0 preseason win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: While McGuire showcased decent receiving ability out of the backfield this preseason, his inability to get going on the ground could keep him off the roster considering the Jets' other running backs don't lack pass-catching skills. The 25-year-old Louisiana Lafayette product is in serious danger of getting cut before Week 1.

  • Doesn't strengthen roster case

    McGuire rushed five times for 21 yards and caught his lone target for five yards in Saturday's 28-13 preseason loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: McGuire remains on the roster bubble, and New York's preseason usage of its running backs has made it clear that Ty Montgomery is the top backup to Le'Veon Bell. While most impact players will sit out the preseason finale, it wouldn't be surprising to see McGuire out there making his case for a roster spot.

  • Still buried on depth chart

    McGuire rushed five times for 14 yards and caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 22-10 win over Atlanta in Week 2 of preseason.

    Analysis: McGuire failed to repeat his strong pass-catching performance from the previous week while once again struggling on the ground. Ty Montgomery and Bilal Powell both mixed in before McGuire while Le'Veon Bell sat out. The trio of veterans ahead of McGuire on the depth chart are all well-rounded running backs who won't cede their roles without a major push from the Louisiana Lafayette product over the two remaining preseason contests.

  • Catches TD in preseason opener

    McGuire rushed six times for 13 yards and caught six of seven targets for 38 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against the Giants.

    Analysis: McGuire couldn't get much going on the ground but salvaged his day with a nice pass-catching performance, which included a seven-yard receiving score in the second quarter. Top dog Le'Veon Bell sat this one out, as did veteran Bilal Powell, while Ty Montgomery got the start over McGuire. There's a good chance McGuire is competing for a roster spot with Trenton Cannon, who can also contribute as a gunner and kick returner on special teams, so the 25-year-old running back will need to turn things…read more

  • Could be caught in roster crunch

    McGuire will have to earn a roster spot in camp, Matt Stypulkoski of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: Stypulkoski's prediction for the roster has McGuire on the outside looking in, but the 25-year-old running back still has plenty of time to change that outlook during training camp and the preseason. The Jets are unlikely to carry five running backs when the season starts, meaning one of Bilal Powell, Ty Montgomery, Trenton Cannon or McGuire will likely be on the chopping block with new starter Le'Veon Bell assured the top spot on the depth chart. Montgomery can also play wide receiver while…read more

  • Bumped down to third string

    McGuire will likely work as the Jets' No. 3 running back next season in the wake of the team signing Ty Montgomery to back up Le'Veon Bell, Andy Vasquez of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Vasquez notes that coach Adam Gase has made it clear he will not overwork Bell, so there should be some touches available for Montgomery and McGuire. Montgomery, who's an accomplished pass catcher, is expected to bump McGuire down to third on the depth chart, so New York's 2017 sixth-rounder will need to show serious improvement to earn a meaningful role, barring an injury to one of the veterans ahead of him.

  • Now behind Bell instead of Crowell

    McGuire will compete with Trenton Cannon and De'Angelo Henderson for backfield slotting behind prized offseason acquisition Le'Veon Bell, WFAN.com reports.

    Analysis: Even with Isaiah Crowell released on Thursday, the battle for the No. 2 running back job becomes far less interesting when the starter is well established as a three-down workhorse. The Jets won't necessarily use Bell the same way the Steelers did, but it's a safe bet they didn't give him $25 million guaranteed to share carries with the likes of McGuire, Cannon and Henderson. While he currently lines up as the favorite for that No. 2 spot, McGuire likely will be resigned to handcuff status if…read more

  • Struggles in finale

    McGuire rushed 18 times for 41 yards and added 24 yards on two catches while also losing a fumble in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Patriots. He finishes the season with 276 yards and three touchdowns on 92 carries, along with 19 catches for 193 yards and a touchdown,

    Analysis: McGuire couldn't find much running room in this season finale, putting an end to the momentum he had built up after inheriting the starting role down the stretch. Isaiah Crowell should be back from his toe injury next season and the Jets could opt for a flashy running back signing using their plentiful cap space, so McGuire should have no shortage of competition for touches in his third campaign.

  • Continuing to find end zone

    McGuire rushed 14 times for 35 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 50 yards and another score on five targets in Sunday's 44-38 overtime loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: McGuire extended his rushing touchdown streak to three games with a four-yard score in the first quarter and flashed his receiving chops with a 20-yard touchdown late in the third. While his 2.8 yards-per-carry average on 49 attempts over the past three weeks has left a lot to be desired, McGuire's combination of robust volume and goal-line usage since Isaiah Crowell went on injured reserve with a toe injury has made the second-year running back a worthy late-season addition. Expect him to…read more

  • Produces little as lead back

    McGuire had 18 carries for 42 yards and a touchdown while catching three of four targets for 29 yards in Saturday's loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: McGuire took over as the top backfield option for the Jets with Isaiah Crowell (toe) on injured reserve, and was unable to find much space to maneuver. The 24-year-old saved fantasy owners with the two-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter, but the Texans' dominant run defense otherwise prevailed. The good news for McGuire is No. 2 running back Trenton Cannon didn't fare any better with seven carries for 13 yards. The Packers allow 4.6 yards per carry and represent a more favorable…read more

  • Top backfield option moving forward

    With fellow running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) landing on injured reserve, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post, McGuire is set to serve as the Jets' primary running back moving forward.

    Analysis: McGuire was already in line to start Saturday against the Texans with Crowell ruled out for Week 15, but with Crowell now out for the season, McGuire is now the favorite to start every game the rest of the way. Fellow running back Trenton Cannon figures to see some work behind McGuire, and pending roster addition De'Angelo Henderson could, too, but McGuire was on the field for 74 percent of the snaps last week, a clear indication he is the preferred option of the trio. McGuire will face a stiff…read more

  • Not listed on injury report

    Though previous reports suggested that McGuire (ankle) would be listed as questionable, the running back no longer carries an injury designation on the Jets' Week 15 injury report.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, the team's top rusher Isaiah Crowell (toe) is out this week and Trenton Cannon (toe) is listed as questionable. In that context, McGuire is a worthy Week 15 dart for those scrambling for backfield help.

  • Listed as questionable, expected to play

    McGuire is dealing with what ESPN's Rich Cimini refers to as a minor ankle injury that has the running back listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Per the report, McGuire is expected to play this weekend and if he does, he'd be in line to head the Jets' Week 15 backfield -- with rookie Trenton Cannon also on hand -- given that Isaiah Crowell (toe) has already been ruled out by the Jets.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 15

    McGuire (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Texans, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: McGuire's Week 15 status gains added import, with Isaiah Crowell (toe) ruled out for Saturday's tilt. If healthy enough to do so, McGuire would be a candidate to head the team's ground game against Houston, but if he's out or limited, Trenton Cannon (toe) would be next up for the team's carries.

  • Returns to limited practice

    McGuire (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: The same goes for Trenton Cannon (toe), whereas No. 1 back Isaiah Crowell (foot) was held out for a second straight day. McGuire thus seems to be on track for the start in Saturday's game against Houston, but the situation will still need to be monitored carefully over the next few days. While yet to sign a fourth running back, the Jets have three options on their practice squad in De'Angelo Henderson, Mark Thompson and Joel Bouagnon.

  • Misses practice with ankle issue

    McGuire didn't practice Tuesday due to an ankle issue, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: With the Jets facing the Texans on Saturday in Week 15, McGuire will have one day fewer than usual to gear up for gameday McGuire wasn't revealed to have suffered an injury coming out of the Jets' 27-23 win over the Bills over the weekend, so the 24-year-old might be just receiving some maintenance after handling his largest workload of the season (17 carries, three receptions) in the contest. The Jets also withheld Isaiah Crowell (foot) and Trenton Cannon (toe) from the first practice of the…read more

  • Scores winner after Crowell injury

    McGuire rushed 17 times for 60 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 23 yards on four targets in Sunday's 27-23 win over Buffalo.

    Analysis: McGuire got the bulk of the rushing work for New York after Isaiah Crowell was forced out early by a foot injury. While third-stringer Trenton Cannon scored the Jets' first rushing touchdown from four yards out, McGuire found paydirt on the game's most important play, giving the team a 27-23 lead by scoring from one yard out on fourth down with 1:17 remaining. If Crowell can't go in Week 15, McGuire will be asked to carry the mail against a formidable Houston front.

  • Ineffective in Week 13

    McGuire rushed six times for 19 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 26-22 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: With the Jets leading for most of the contest, McGuire played second fiddle to Isiaiah Crowell, who racked up 107 scrimmage yards on 25 touches. In fact, even third-stringer Trenton Cannon (25 yards on five touches) was more effective than McGuire. It will be hard to trust any Jets offensive player besides Crowell against Buffalo in Week 14.

  • Seven touches in Week 12

    McGuire rushed six times for 19 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: McGuire and Isaiah Crowell got six carries apiece while Josh McCown was asked to throw the ball 45 times, even though New England didn't lead by more than one possession at any point until less than nine minutes remained in the game. Expect a near-even split from the two running backs against the Titans in Week 13, hopefully with more volume for each.

  • Nets 57 scrimmage yards in Week 10

    McGuire rushed six times for 30 yards and added three catches for 27 yards on six targets in Sunday's 41-10 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: McGuire led the ineffective Jets offense in scrimmage yards, but Isaiah Crowell had the better fantasy day thanks to a 5-yard rushing touchdown. Heading into the Week 11 bye, the pair is operating in a near even backfield timeshare, with Trenton Cannon also involved in a change-of-pace role.

  • Totals 50 scrimmage yards versus Dolphins

    McGuire carried six times for 23 yards and caught three of five targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: McGuire received his first offensive touches of the season, finishing tied for second on the team in receiving yards. He received less than half the carries allotted to Isaiah Crowell and managed a similar 3.8 yards per carry, but he was much more involved as a receiver out of the backfield. McGuire could play a role in next week's contest against the Bills, when he will look to build off this promising outing.

  • Cleared for Week 9

    The Jets activated McGuire (foot) from injured reserve Friday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: New York waived fellow running back De'Angelo Henderson in a corresponding move, clearing the way for McGuire to join the roster and make his season debut Sunday against the Dolphins. Considering McGuire has been practicing the past two weeks after July surgery to repair a fractured foot resulted in him opening the season on IR, it's not expected that he'll face significant limitations in his return to action.

  • Expected to debut Week 9

    Coach Todd Bowles said Friday that McGuire (foot) is "trending toward" returning from injured reserve to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Mehta relays that the Jets are planning to release fellow running back De'Angelo Henderson, thereby opening up a spot on the 53-man roster for McGuire. It's unclear how extensively McGuire has been practicing since the Jets designated him to return from IR on Oct. 17, but the team's plan to bring him back well before the three-week evaluation window closes suggests his health isn't much of a concern. If that's the case, McGuire could immediately step in as the Jets' primary change-of-pace…read more

  • Likely to make debut Sunday

    The Jets are expected to activate McGuire (foot) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: As Costello notes, McGuire has been moving well since returning to practice Oct. 17 and appears to have quelled any doubts the Jets may have had about his health coming off July 30 surgery to repair a fractured foot. The Jets will have until Nov. 7 to activate McGuire or keep him on IR for the rest of the season, but it's unlikely the team waits out the full 21-day window with backfield depth now an issue following Bilal Powell's (neck) recent season-ending injury. If McGuire is added to the…read more
