Overview
- Trayanum stayed motionless after a tackle on the final play before halftime of the preseason finale and was stabilized on the turf with a neck brace, backboard and cart before being taken to a local hospital.
- The New York Jets reported he was awake, alert and moving his extremities during transport and head coach Aaron Glenn said he expected Trayanum to “be just fine.”
- The hit came after Cade Klubnik handed the ball to Trayanum and Giants linebacker Trace Ford made the tackle, ending a first half in which Trayanum had scored a 1-yard touchdown and led the Jets with 12 carries for 38 yards.
- Trayanum is a 24-year-old undrafted rookie who had used the preseason finale to audition for a roster or practice-squad spot behind established backs, so further medical findings could pause or change immediate personnel decisions.
- The next developments to watch are hospital scan results and any official medical prognosis, which will shape his short-term availability and the Jets’ final roster moves before the regular season.
