Boyd remained at Bellevue Hospital, according to multiple reports. Police have released two photos of a suspect they were looking for for discharging a firearm.
Meanwhile, Boyd’s Jets teammates kept the cornerback and special teams player in mind during practice.
Defensive end Harrison Phillips said some of his teammates talked to Boyd.
“I just know a lot of prayers have been answered,” Phillips said. “It’s a blessing to know that he’s in a stable condition, surrounded by family and a lot of support around him. Certainly, where the news was originally reported, there’s a lot of panic and a lot of emotion that comes with it. That’s not to make the situation any less, but I think we’re a little more grateful to know that he’s in a stable condition now.”
