Elijah McGuire was NOT put on the Chiefs regular 53 man roster.
This does not mean that Darwin Thompson has somehow failed.
Chiefs at the beginning of the season had RB Marcus Marshall on practice squad. On October 10 Chiefs released Marshall from PS and added Ryan Hunter.
A practice squad RB gives LeSean McCoy (31) and Damien Williams more of an opportunity to rest their bodies.
You can never have enough running backs that Andy Reid can plug into the offense because they already know the plays and are ready to go. Multiple running backs can be hurt in one game.
Elijah McGuire has some skills with being able to run and catch passes that the Chiefs can maybe use and this gives them a chance to evaluate him.
