The NYPD confirmed to ABC News that Boyd, 29, was shot in the abdomen Nov. 16 at approximately 2 a.m. outside the Sei Less restaurant, which is located in Manhattan on West 38th Street. He received several procedures at Bellevue Hospital to treat a bullet lodged in his lung.

Police sources said the shooting seemingly sparked up from a verbal altercation after another group began “chirping” about the clothing of Boyd and the three people he was with — two fellow Jets players and a friend.

On Nov. 19, three days following the incident, Boyd published a picture of himself on Instagram, announcing that he had begun breathing on his own, per ABC News.

The hospital released Boyd a few days following the incident, but he had to briefly make a return because of “health issues,” he later wrote on Instagram.
