Unfortunately for running back Elijah McGuire, he will require surgery to heal a broken foot injury he suffered in New York Jets training camp. It’s a shame since McGuire had high expectations heading into his second year with the Jets.
Last year, McGuire had shown some signs of potential as he transitioned to the pros in his rookie season. In 2017, McGuire totaled 315 rushing yards, 88 rushes, and one touchdown. McGuire also scored a touchdown as a receiving option, showing his ability to develop into a dual-threat offensive player.
McGuire started off training camp well but in just his second day, suffered the injury as a result of planting his feet awkwardly during a cutting motion when rushing with the football.
