The Minnesota Vikings selected Boyd in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Vikings before joining the Arizona Cardinals in 2023. He had a one-year stint with the Houston Texans and then signed with the Jets in March.
He has not appeared in any regular season games in 2025 and his roster designation is currently listed as injured reserve.
The Jets lost to the New England Patriots on Thursday night and are not scheduled to play today.
