New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was critically wounded in a shooting in New York City on Sunday morning after an incident outside of a restaurant in Manhattan. He remained hospitalized on Monday with a bullet lodged in his lung, according to ABC News.
He is still listed in critical but stable condition. Boyd told police on Monday that he was at Sei Less on Saturday night with friends, and that they got into a “scuffle” outside of the restaurant after it closed around 2 a.m. ET.

An investigation is still ongoing, and police are looking for a man who was spotted leaving the scene on foot. Specifics about the incident, and what led up to the shooting, are still unknown.
Boyd has since undergone multiple procedures since he arrived at the hospital, per the report. He was shot in the abdomen, and a bullet is lodged in his lung.
“We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time,” the Jets said in a statement on Sunday.
Boyd signed a one-year, $1.6 million deal with the Jets this offseason after two seasons with the Houston Texans. He was placed on injured reserve in August with a shoulder injury, however, and has not played since.

The Jets did not play on Sunday. They fell to the New England Patriots in Massachusetts on Thursday night, which dropped them to 2-8 on the season. They will be back in action next on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
