Jets cornerback Kris Boyd remains in hospital at this time as he continues to recover from the gunshot wound he suffered over the weekend. More details on his situation have emerged. 
The bullet which struck Boyd in his abdomen wound up being lodged in his lung, per a report from Bill Hutchinson and Aaron Katersky of ABC News. The report adds that Boyd has undergone “multiple medical procedures” since arriving at Bellevue Hospital in New York. The 29-year-old remains in critical but stable condition at this time.
NYPD detectives were able to speak with Boyd shortly after he was hospitalized, per the report. He informed police he spent Saturday night at Sei Less restaurant with a group of friends. While departing the restaurant after it closed around 2:00am Sunday morning, Boyd and his party engaged in a confrontation with another group. The situation resulted in Boyd being shot by the suspect who has yet to be apprehended.
Detectives hope to be able to speak further with Boyd when he is in position to do so. It remains to be seen when that will be the case, although an update provided on Sunday by one of his friends was encouraging with respect to a full recovery being possible. Keeping in line with their original statement on the matter, the Jets have not commented since the incident.
A seventh-round pick in 2019, Boyd entered the NFL as a member of the Vikings. He spent his first four seasons in Minnesota before splitting the 2023 campaign with the Cardinals and Texans. The Texas product spent all of last year with Houston before joining the Jets in free agency. Boyd was moved to season-ending IR in August, setting him up for a lengthy recovery process on the injury front. The earliest point at which he can suit up is the start of the 2026 season, although attention is of course currently focused on his current situation.
Glad to hear he’s on the mend. Not exactly well versed on NYC but seeing as the location was as close to Times Square as people say, That there aren’t about 2000 cameras around. 1 should have seen something, Even at 2 AM.
I think cameras give people a false sense of security. You would think the Louvre would be super secure with all those cameras… yet a major heist occurred there in broad daylight recently.
shot in the lung ouch
