The Jets lost a key piece on the first day of training camp.
Running back Elijah McGuire fractured a bone in his foot during Friday’s practice and will be sidelined for a while. Coach Todd Bowles would not say exactly how long McGuire will be out, but the injury is expected to require surgery. That should keep him out for a long time.
“I’m sure it’s tough for him going into his second year,” Bowles said. “Any time somebody gets hurt it’s a tough break. But he’s a hard worker, and we expect him to be back as soon as he is ready.
