“He’s all good right now. He’s in good condition. He’s doing real good,” Quander told the outlet.
The shooting reportedly stemmed from a dispute outside Sei Less restaurant. The suspected gunman fired multiple rounds, the New York Post reported, citing law enforcement sources.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains active.
Fox News Digital reached out to Boyd’s agent for comment.
The Minnesota Vikings selected Boyd in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Vikings, before joining the Arizona Cardinals in 2023. He had a one-year stint with the Houston Texans and then signed with the Jets in March.
He has not appeared in any regular season games in 2025 and his roster designation is currently listed as injured reserve.
The Jets lost to the New England Patriots on Thursday night and are not scheduled to play today.
