NEW YORK (AP) — Kris Boyd was on the minds of his stunned but grateful New York Jets teammates as they returned to work a day after he was shot and wounded in midtown Manhattan.

Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips told reporters during a video call that some of his teammates had spoken to Boyd in the hospital, where he was in critical but stable condition Monday.

“I just know there’s been a lot of answered prayers,” Phillips said. “It’s a blessing to know that he’s in stable condition, surrounded by his family with a lot of support around him. Definitely from where the news was originally reported, there’s a lot of panic and a lot of emotion that goes into that. Not to lighten the situation, but I think we’re a little more grateful knowing he’s in stable condition now.”
