Jets RB Elijah McGuire fractures foot, may need surgery

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Second-year running back Elijah McGuire, expected to have a role in the New York Jets' offense, is out indefinitely after fracturing a foot Friday in the team's first training camp practice.

The Jets moved quickly to set up a contingency plan, working out veteran free agents Alfred Morris and Orleans Darkwa on Saturday. They played most recently with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, respectively.

McGuire may need surgery to repair the fracture, meaning he will be lost for a significant portion of the season.
