Joins Kansas City's practice squad The Chiefs signed McGuire to their practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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.

Reaches injury settlement Kansas City released McGuire (ankle) from injured reserve with an injury settlement, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact 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.

No practice Monday McGuire (ankle) is not practicing Monday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact 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.

Getting look from KC McGuire will head to Kansas City for a visit with the Chiefs, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact 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 are therefore needed at the position. McGuire offers experience with 591 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.

Rises to active roster McGuire was promoted to the Dolphins' active roster Saturday.

Impact 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.

Headed to Miami McGuire inked a contract with the Dolphins' practice squad Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact McGuire last suited up with the Cowboys' practice squad this season, but he's found a new home in which 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.

Cut from Dallas' practice squad McGuire was cut from the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's media transaction page.

Impact 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.
