Overview

• New York placed Kris Boyd on season-ending injured reserve on Monday, the team announced on X.
• Boyd was carted off during the Aug. 2 Green & White practice after trainers assessed his left shoulder.
• He signed with the Jets in March on a one-year, $1.6 million deal that included about $330,000 guaranteed.
• A 2019 seventh-round pick of the Vikings, Boyd carved out a special-teams role and appeared in all 17 games for the Texans last season.
• The loss removes an expected core gunner from New York’s coverage units and gives first-year special teams coordinator Chris Banjo an early test.
