The Jets entered training camp with five running backs on their roster. Two days into practice, they're down to four.
That's bad news for Eli McGuire, the man who went down with a broken foot that will require surgery. But it could end up being a blessing for the likes of Trenton Cannon.
Cannon, the Jets' sixth-round draft pick, was mostly viewed as a potential return man entering this summer. But now with McGuire - who was expected to be the Jets' third running back behind Bilal Powell and Isaiah Crowell - out of the near-term picture, there should be extra reps available for Cannon to display his talents as a running back.
