Elijah McGuire's stint on the Cleveland Browns' 53-man active roster lasted just one game.

Running back Elijah McGuire, who played for Louisiana for four years, from 2013-2016, was waived by the Browns on Thursday.

 

The 25-year old McGuire, who was released by the New York Jets on August 30, before being signed to the Cleveland practice squad on September 2, was elevated to the Browns' 53-man roster on Monday, just hours before they battled McGuire's former team.

McGuire did not appear in Cleveland's 23-3 win.

McGuire now becomes a free agent and can sign with any team. He can also re-sign with the Cleveland practice squad, or sign with the practice squad of any other NFL organization.

A native of Houma, and a graduate of Vanderbilt High School, McGuire, who was drafted in the 6th round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Jets, rushed for 315 yards and one touchdown in his rookie campaign, while also catching 17 passes for 177 yards and one score.

Limited to 8 games due to a foot injury last season, McGuire rushed for 276 yards and three touchdowns, while also 19 passes for 193 yards and one score.

The second all-time leading rusher in UL program history, McGuire tallied 4,202 career rushing yards, between 2013-2016.

In addition, McGuire also finished as the school career leader in all-purpose yards (5,858 yards), touchdowns (52) and scoring (318 points).

The 5-foot-10, 214-pound McGuire was named the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year in 2013, as well as the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year in 2014, while being tabbed a First Team All-Sun Belt Conference selection in both 2013 and 2014.
