Boyd remained at Bellevue Hospital, according to multiple reports. Police released two photos of a suspect they wanted for firing a firearm.
Meanwhile, Boyd’s Jets teammates kept the cornerback and special teams player on their minds during practice.
Defensive end Harrison Phillips said some of his teammates had talked to Boyd.
“I just know there have 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. Certainly from where the news was initially reported, there’s a lot of panic and a lot of emotion that goes into it. Not to make light of the situation, but I think we’re a little more grateful to know that he’s in stable condition now.”
