Kris Boyd’s Career Overview
This incident marks a troubling turn for Boyd, who is in his first season with the Jets. Despite signing a one-year, $1.6 million contract during free agency, he has yet to play a game this season due to a severe shoulder injury sustained during the preseason.
Prior to his time with the Jets, Boyd was a seventh-round draft pick for the Minnesota Vikings in 2019. He played four seasons with the Vikings before having stints with the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans.
The Jets organization is aware of the situation but has declined to provide further comments as the investigation continues. As the situation develops, both fans and teammates are hopeful for Boyd’s speedy recovery.
