Jets RB Trayanum hospitalized with neck injury

Jets rookie running back Chip Trayanum was hospitalized with a neck injury suffered in Friday's preseason game against the Giants.

Medical personnel worked on Trayanum for several minutes before he was strapped into a cart wearing a neck brace. Teammates remained on the field, taking a knee and watching with concern.

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