"New York Jets player Kris Boyd, who was shot in the abdomen three weeks ago during an altercation outside a Manhattan restaurant, surprised teammates by showing up at the team facility Wednesday."
""I'm pretty sure every single person that walked by gave him a dap up, a high five or a semi-hug," said defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, who was teammates with Boyd on the Minnesota Vikings in 2022."
""It was awesome to see him," tight end Jeremy Ruckert said. "It's not something that we at all thought or knew was going to happen today, so it was a good surprise to see him with such high hopes and positive energy. ... It was cool, a good moment for us to get back around him and for him to be around us.""
Kris Boyd was shot in the abdomen three weeks earlier during an altercation outside a Manhattan restaurant and unexpectedly returned to the New York Jets facility. Boyd attended the special teams meeting, broke down the session at the end, and spent much of the day reconnecting with teammates and coaches. Teammates greeted him with daps, high fives and semi-hugs and expressed relief at seeing him smiling and interacting. Boyd had posted a week earlier that he returned to the hospital due to health issues, and a handful of teammates had been in touch. His presence brightened a struggling Jets locker room during a losing season.
