New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was shot in Midtown Manhattan early Sunday morning and is in critical condition.
The New York Post was first to report the shooting, which took place on W. 38th St. near Seventh Ave. around 2 a.m. ET. The 29-year-old was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he is “clinging to life.”
The shooting is still under investigation with no arrests made.
Boyd is in his first season with the Jets, but suffered a shoulder injury during an Aug. 2 preseason game that ended his season. The Texas alum spent four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before stops with the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans. He appeared in all 17 games last season with the AFC South side, recording eight tackles and a fumble recovery.
Boyd was brought in by the Jets to compete for a cornerback and special-teams role.
