New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis (leg) has been placed on the non-football injury list on Thursday. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Travis is still recovering from a leg fracture from November. The fifth-round pick can return at any point during training camp since he was put on the list before camp started. Travis is unlikely to have fantasy value during the 2024 season. He's expected to serve as the third-string quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can feel free to avoid Travis. However, dynasty managers have more incentive to hold Travis with Rodgers possibly retiring after the 2024 season.
New York Jets rookie quarterback Jordan Travis (ankle), who was drafted by the Jets in the fifth round last week, won't take part in offseason workouts but should be cleared for training camp at the end of July, according to head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets took the Florida State star as a developmental prospect who can learn behind Aaron Rodgers and veteran backup Tyrod Taylor. Travis suffered a gruesome, season-ending ankle injury on Nov. 18 and required surgery. He rode a stationary bike on Friday during part of practice. "He's a tremendously talented young man and extremely gifted, especially athletically. He's got a lot of work to do for sure, especially with tying his lower half to his arm and all that good stuff, but he's a gifted athlete," Saleh said. Travis threw for 8,643 yards and 65 touchdowns while finishing his career with 17 straight wins for the Seminoles.
Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis (ankle) is visiting with the New York Jets on Monday. The 23-year-old fractured and dislocated his left ankle on Nov. 18, yet he still finished fifth in the 2023 Heisman Trophy voting. Travis threw for over 8,000 yards and 66 touchdowns and rushed for nearly 2,000 yards and 31 touchdowns in his 49 college games, so he has plenty of experience to be at least a quality backup in the NFL. The Jets have Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) and Tyrod Taylor on the roster, but with Rodgers set to turn 41 years old at the end of next season, the organization could start to throw darts at the quarterback position in the later round of the next few drafts. Travis has been back on the field in the days leading up to this year's draft.
Former Florida State quarterback and 2024 NFL Draft prospect Jordan Travis (ankle) is expected to be fully cleared by April, according to his agent Deiric Jackson. The 23-year-old suffered a brutal ankle injury on November 18, effectively ending his season and college career. At the time of his injury, the Seminoles were 10-0 and Travis had compiled 2,756 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns, two interceptions, 176 rushing yards, and seven rushing touchdowns. He finished fifth in the 2023 Heisman Trophy voting. The Florida native played in 49 college games (39 starts), so he'll bring experience to the quarterback room. However, he's likely going to be selected on the final day of the 2024 NFL Draft, meaning there's no guarantee he'll ever see playing time at the next level.
