New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis has informed the team he will retire from playing football, surprisingly ending his long comeback from a serious leg injury in college.
Travis said in a statement released by the Jets on Wednesday that he “gave everything I had to the rehab process," but was medically advised to stop playing.
The 24-year-old Travis was a fifth-round draft pick last year out of Florida State, but spent last season on the Jets' non-football injury list. The team will now place him on the reserve/retired list.
Travis hurt his left leg during a game against North Alabama in November 2023, the last time he played in a game at any level.
