FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Second-year running back Eli McGuire, who had been expected to have a big role in the Jets’ offense this year, suffered a broken foot, coach Todd Bowles confirmed after practice Saturday.
Bowles said he did not know whether McGuire would need surgery, as had been reported by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Bowles said he had no timetable as to how long McGuire will be sidelined.
McGuire left the field Friday, during the first day of training camp, with what Bowles said was a non-contact injury that occurred when he tried to make a cut.
