Kris Boyd Was Already Out For The 2025 Campaign
New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was placed on season-ending injured reserve in August due to a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason.
The 29-year-old was in the midst of his first season with the Jets after signing with them this offseason.
He should be able to make a full recovery from his gunshot wound to play in 2026.
According to NYPD officials, a verbal dispute broke out between his group and another group of men, which escalated from comments to a fight outside. The confrontation led to Boyd being shot.
The bullet entered Boyd’s abdomen and became lodged in his right lung. He has since undergone multiple surgeries.
In the days following the shooting, the NYPD released surveillance footage of a suspected shooter, leading to new investigative developments.
