Jets’ Kris Boyd on season-ending IR in blow to particular groups

Defensive again Kris Boyd, who was anticipated to be a core special-teamer, was positioned on season-ending injured reserve as a result of a shoulder harm suffered Aug. 2 throughout an intra-squad scrimmage.
Boyd signed a one-year, $1.6 million free agent contract that included $333,000 assured after enjoying in all 17 video games for the Texans final season.

Boyd’s absence opens up a spot on the backside of the 53-man roster for one more defensive again and special-teamer, which might be former sixth-round choose Jarrick Bernard-Converse or Jarius Monroe.
