New York Jets player Kris Boyd has faced a significant setback in his recovery after being readmitted to hospital, just days after being released following a shooting incident in Manhattan.
Shooting Outside Popular Restaurant
The American football star was shot in the early hours of Sunday, November 16 outside the well-known Asian-fusion restaurant Sei Less in Manhattan. The violent incident left Boyd fighting for his life, occurring just as the athlete had recently celebrated becoming a father.
Coach's Positive Update and Sudden Relapse
Initially, there had been encouraging news about Boyd's condition. His Jets head coach, Aaron Glenn, told reporters several days after the shooting that the player was expected to make a full recovery. This positive prognosis made his subsequent return to hospital particularly concerning.
During the Thanksgiving period, Boyd took to Instagram to share a personal health update with his followers. He posted: 'Please bare with me, I haven't been in communication much. I was released but had to return to the hospital due to my health issues.'
He continued with a message of gratitude and resilience, writing: 'I love and appreciate every one of yall dearly who has prayed/reached out even if I can't get back to you. Head HIGH. God is not through with me yet.'
Ongoing Recovery Journey
The professional athlete's situation highlights the unpredictable nature of recovery from serious gunshot wounds. Despite initial optimism from his coaching staff and his brief release to continue healing at home, complications have necessitated further hospital care.
Boyd's heartfelt social media message demonstrates his determination to maintain a positive outlook despite this challenging health crisis. The sports community continues to monitor his condition closely as he works toward full recovery.
