Jets cornerback Kris Boyd, who was shot in New York City on Sunday, is in “good condition,” his friend told the New York Post.
“He’s all good right now. He’s in good condition. He’s doing real good,” said Ernest Quander, Boyd’s friend from the University of Texas. “He’s a soldier, through tough times. He’s fine. He’s fine.”
The 29-year-old suffered two gunshot wounds to the abdomen.
The incident occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue. He was rushed to Bellevue hospital.
Boyd joined the Jets this season but has been on the injured list since he suffered a shoulder injury during a preseason game on Aug. 2.
The Vikings selected Boyd in the seventh round of the 2019 draft. He also spent time with the Cardinals and Texans before joining the Jets.
