Boyd remained in Bellevue Hospital, according to multiple reports. Police released two photos of a suspect they sought for discharging a firearm.
Meanwhile, Boyd’s Jets teammates kept the cornerback and special teams player on top of their minds at practice.
Defensive end Harrison Phillips said some of his teammates had spoken to Boyd.
“I just know there’s been a lot of answered prayers,” Phillips said. “It’s a blessing to know that he’s in stable condition, surrounded by his family with a lot of support around him. Definitely from where the news was originally reported, there’s a lot of panic and a lot of emotion that goes into that. Not to lighten the situation, but I think we’re a little more grateful knowing he’s in stable condition now.”
