Jets RB Trayanum hospitalized with neck injury

Jets rookie running back Chip Trayanum was transported to the hospital after suffering a neck injury during Friday night's preseason game against the Giants.

Trayanum was injured on the final play of the first half when Giants linebacker Trace Ford hit him as he received the handoff from quarterback Cade Klubnik. The Jets remained on the field, taking a knee as medical personnel attended to Trayanum, who appeared to be wearing a neck brace when transported on a cart.

The Jets report that Trayanum is awake, alert and has movement in his extremities. In the first half, Trayanum had 12 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown, plus two receptions for 25 yards. The team also ruled out sixth-round rookie guard Anez Cooper with a shoulder injury. amunra.qpon
