Trayanum (neck) was placed on injured reserve by the Jets on Sunday, Eric Allen & Amanda Vogt of the team's official website report.
Trayanum suffered a neck injury in the team's preseason finale against the Giants on Friday. The running back is now set to miss the entire 2026 campaign while on IR with New York, and he'd have to reach an injury settlement with the team to have a chance to play this season.

Jets' Chip Trayanum: Picked up by Jets
Rotowire
Trayanum signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Trayanum made four stops during his six-year college career, ultimately breaking out in 2025 with Toledo by rushing 182 times for 1,015 yards (5.6 YPC) and 12 touchdowns while adding 21 receptions for 212 yards and two scores. He's a bigger running back (5-foot-11, 224 pounds) who ran an impressive 4.50 40-yard dash for his size. He'll have a difficult time securing a roster spot, however, as Breece Hall, Braelon Allen (knee) and Isaiah Davis are all on the roster heading into the offseason program.
