Jets cornerback Kris Boyd is still in the hospital after being shot twice in the abdomen in New York City on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said he talked to Boyd and had a promising update.
“He’s going to come out of this thing really, really well,” Glenn said. “That’s what eases my mind, is that he’s in good spirits, his wife and his kid, they’re in good spirits, and he’ll walk away from this just fine.”
Glenn said he’s more focused on Boyd’s life, not his future football career.
“Once I heard about the situation, talking about Kris in general, the first thing I thought about was, he just had a kid, and I’m thinking about his wife, I’m thinking about his kid, and I want to make sure that he’s OK. And that’s the only thing that really went through my mind,” Glenn said.
According the New York Post, Boyd was with Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood and wide receiver Irvin Charles at Sei Less Asian Fusion nightclub in Midtown. The players left after Boyd felt “uneasy” about “vibe.”
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.
