New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis, a fifth-round draft pick in 2024, informed the team Wednesday that he is retiring.

Travis, 24, cited ongoing complications from a left leg injury sustained during his final game at Florida State.

“On November 18, 2023, my life took an unexpected turn,” Travis said in a statement. “I gave everything I had to the rehab process but despite all my efforts, my leg never responded the way we hoped. After much prayer and consultation with the doctors, medical experts and my agent, I’ve been medically advised to retire from the game I love so deeply.”

The Jets said Travis will be placed on the reserve/retired list.

“Jordan has informed us of his intent to retire due to the injury he sustained while at Florida State,” Jets general manager Darren Mougey said in a statement. “It is unfortunate that he was unable to get back on the field after working so hard. We support his decision and wish him only the best.”
