Jets rookie RB Chip Trayanum transported to hospital with neck injury
Jets rookie running back Chip Trayanum was injured on the final play of the first half in Friday night's preseason game against the Giants.
New York Jets rookie running back Chip Trayanum suffered a neck injury during a tackle in the final minutes of the first half against the Giants on Friday night. Jets officials confirmed Trayanum, an undrafted player from Toledo, was conscious, responsive, and had full mobility in his limbs. Instead of kneeling down with 10 seconds left in the half, the Jets chose to execute a play.
Trayanum received the handoff from Cade Klubnik and was promptly tackled by Trace Ford, causing him to fall to the ground. Medical personnel quickly approached Trayanum, who remained on the field as they examined him. After a few minutes, Trayanum was placed in a neck brace, secured to a backboard, and loaded onto a cart, which transported him off the field.
He was seen flexing his hands as he was carried inside the stadium. The rookie had scored the Jets' only touchdown of the opening half earlier, a 1-yard run after nine carries on ten plays. In total, Trayanum gained 38 yards on 12 plays during the game.
