"The last that we heard is he had an issue and he had to go back into the hospital," Glenn said. "But other than that, I need to figure that out."
On Nov. 19, Boyd indicated his previous critical health had improved as he said he was breathing on his own in a separate social media post.
The bullet reportedly ended up in his lung, according to ABC News. He has since had it removed.
The 29-year-old hasn't played this season, his first with the Jets. He went on the season-ending injured reserve list on Aug. 18 with a shoulder injury.
