New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn says he has spoken to Kris Boyd and is confident the cornerback and special teams standout will be OK after being shot in midtown Manhattan early Sunday morning.
Glenn said the hospitalized Boyd was "upbeat" in their recent conversation.
"That's what eases my mind, is that he's in good spirits," Glenn said Wednesday. "His wife and his kid, they're in good spirits and he will walk away from this just fine."
Glenn was unsure when Boyd might be released from the hospital, where he has been listed in critical but stable condition.
