The New York Jets placed defensive back and key special teamer Kris Boyd on injured reserve Monday, ending his season.
The 28-year-old was entering his first season with the Jets but during practice on Aug. 2 he suffered a shoulder injury, one serious enough that he was carted off the field.
Boyd featured in all 17 regular-season games for the Houston Texans last year, but it was in the playoffs when he became widely known.
On the opening kickoff of Houston's eventual loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round, Boyd forced a fumble, prematurely celebrated before the Chiefs recovered, was flagged for ripping off his helmet and then was seen shoving his special teams coach.
In 81 NFL regular-season games (six starts) for the Minnesota Vikings (2019-22), Arizona Cardinals (2023) and Texans (2023-24), Boyd has amassed 105 tackles, two forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. The Vikings had selected him in the seventh round of the 2019 draft out of Texas.
