McGuire was cut from the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Analysis: The running back joined the Chiefs' practice unit in October, but failed to crack the active roster before being cut Wednesday. McGuire has not appeared in an NFL game since 2018 and will look to find another practice squad opportunity ahead of the 2022 season.
Jan 19, 2022 3:05 PM EST
The Chiefs signed McGuire to their practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: McGuire will provide depth to the Chiefs' running back group after Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. The 27-year-old has spent time on Kansas City's practice squad the last two seasons, so he should have some familiarity with the system.

Kansas City cut McGuire (ankle) from injured reserve with an injury settlement, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: McGuire was injured during the Chiefs' first preseason contest against the 49ers. The 26-year-old has spent time on Kansas City's practice squad the last two seasons and was vying for a depth spot on the final roster this year. The 2017 sixth-round pick is now free to sign with another team before the beginning of the regular season.

McGuire (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday
Analysis: McGuire picked up the injury during Saturday's preseason matchup with the 49ers, and he was unable to practice Monday before moving to injured reserve. He won't be able to see the field this season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Chiefs and is able to sign a new deal.

McGuire (ankle) is not practicing Monday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: McGuire took his only carry for three yards during Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers, but it appears that he may have dinged up his ankle in the process. The 27-year-old is competing for a depth spot in Kansas City's backfield, and missing practice time could hurt his chances of sticking on the regular-season roster.
Aug 16, 2021 11:41 AM EST
McGuire has signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old, who has spent time on the team's practice squad over the past two seasons, will provide Kansas City with backfield depth behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson. McGuire, a sixth-round draft pick in 2017, last saw regular season action with the Jets in 2018.
Mar 18, 2021 8:32 AM EST
McGuire will sign with the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs are making the move after rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered a high-ankle sprain and a strained hip in last week's win over the Saints. McGuire will add organizational depth in the backfield behind Le'Veon Bell, Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson (illness). The fourth-year tailback hasn't suited up since 2018 when he rushed 92 times for 276 yards and three touchdowns and caught 19 receptions for 193 yards and a score.
Dec 22, 2020 12:43 PM EST
McGuire will head to Kansas City for a visit with the Chiefs, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With the team concerned starting back Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered a high-ankle sprain and a strained hip during Sunday's win over New Orleans, contingency plans must be formed at the position. McGuire offers experience with 592 rushing yards over 180 career carries for the Jets, but he hasn't played in a game in two years. Another former Jet, two-time All-Pro Le'Veon Bell, joined the team in October after being cut by New York, and his Week 15 outing of 76 scrimmage yards and a touchdown was possibly his strongest yet as a Chief.
Dec 21, 2020 3:06 PM EST
McGuire reverted to the Dolphins practice squad Monday and was later cut, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: McGuire got the call to suit up for Miami's Week 14 home test against the defending-champion Chiefs, though he ultimately did not see any action during the contest. Having made stops in Kansas City, Dallas and Miami within the past calendar year, the 26-year-old remains without an NFL appearance since his time with the Jets in 2018.
Dec 14, 2020 4:59 PM EST
McGuire was promoted to the Dolphins' active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Both Myles Gaskin and Matt Breida have been placed on the COVID-19 list, while Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. As a result, McGuire could get an immediate opportunity after signing with the practice squad just a few days ago. DeAndre Washington and Patrick Laird still figure to handle a bulk of the work. McGuire last played in 2018 when he suited up for the Jets and posted 276 yards and three touchdowns on 92 carries (3.0 yards per carry) and 193 yards and a score on 19 receptions.
Dec 12, 2020 1:07 PM EST
McGuire inked a contract with the Dolphins' practice squad Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: McGuire last suited up with the Cowboys' practice squad this campaign, but he found a new home to attempt to break back into the league. The 26-year-old spent two seasons with the Jets in 2017 and 2018, rushing for 591 yards and four touchdowns on 180 rushing attempts over that span.
Dec 9, 2020 6:00 PM EST
McGuire was cut from the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's media transaction page.
Analysis: McGuire has bounced around a few teams' practice squads over the past two seasons after spending two seasons with the Jets to open his career. He averaged just 3.3 yards per carry over 24 games with New York, and McGuire will hope to get scooped up to the practice squad of another team looking to bolster its running back depth.
Oct 28, 2020 1:08 PM EST
The Cowboys signed McGuire to the practice squad Sunday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs released McGuire on Saturday, and the 26-year-old running back will look to add depth in Dallas. The Cowboys are carrying just three running backs - Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle -- to begin the year, and if any of them are injured, McGuire will likely be promoted to the active roster since he has versatility as a pass-catcher.
Sep 7, 2020 8:23 AM EST
McGuire signed a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs on Tuesday, according to the NFL's official transaction report.
Analysis: The running back initially signed to the Chiefs' practice squad back in November and he'll now get a chance to develop in the Chiefs system this offseason. Both LeSean McCoy and Spencer Ware are slated to become free agents this offseason which could give McGuire added reps this spring.
Feb 4, 2020 7:43 PM EST
McGuire signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.
Analysis: Damien Williams (ribs) and LeSean McCoy (undisclosed) were injured during Week 11's win over the Chargers, so the Chiefs are bringing in additional depth in case one or both are unable to play Sunday against the Raiders. McGuire last played in 2018 for the Jets, and he struggled on the ground with 2.7 YPC over the last four weeks but punched in three touchdowns. The 25-year-old has pass-catching upside, though, as he recorded 11 receptions for 126 yards and a score over that stretch.
Nov 26, 2019 11:22 AM EST
McGuire has been added to the Browns' practice squad.
Analysis: McGuire, a 2017 sixth-rounder, racked up 180 carries for 591 yards and four TDs, to go along with 36 catches for 370 yards and two receiving scores for the Jets in 24 games over the course of the 2017 and 2018 campaigns. He therefore gives the Browns a depth option at running back with some recent NFL experience under his belt.
Sep 21, 2019 8:24 AM EST
The Browns waived McGuire on Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: McGuire signed with the Browns on Monday, but he ultimately failed to secure tenure with the team. The 2017 sixth-round pick will look to carve out a depth role elsewhere in the league.
Sep 19, 2019 2:07 PM EST
The Browns signed McGuire on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: With Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) unavailable, the Browns are adding a third running back behind Nick Chubb and D'Ernest Johnson. It's an interesting opportunity for McGuire, with Cleveland scheduled to face his former team, the Jets, on Monday Night Football. It isn't clear whether or not McGuire will be active for the contest, but he probably won't have much of a role even if he is.
Sep 16, 2019 6:20 AM EST
McGuire signed with the Browns' practice squad on Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: McGuire ended up as the odd man out in the backfield for the Jets and let go Friday. The 25-year-old played in 24 games with the Jets over his first two seasons, rushing for 591 yards and three touchdowns with an unimpressive 3.3 YPC. He also added 36 catches for 370 yards and two touchdowns.
Sep 2, 2019 12:25 PM EST
The Jets cut McGuire on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Jets only have one or two spots for running backs behind roster locks Le'Veon Bell and Ty Montgomery. Given his preseason averages of 2.6 yards per carry and 6.8 per reception, McGuire became a long shot to beat out Bilal Powell or Trenton Cannon. The 2017 sixth-round pick has shown decent ability as a pass catcher out of the backfield, but a career mark of 3.3 YPC could scare other teams away.
