New York Jets player Kris Boyd is back in the hospital after being released for treatment of a gunshot wound as the search for the shooter continues.
Boyd, hospitalized Nov. 16 after being shot in the abdomen during a dispute outside a Manhattan restaurant after 2 a.m., posted on social media Wednesday night that he «had to return to the hospital due to my health issues.»
«The last that we heard is he had an issue and he had to go back into the hospital,» Jets coach Aaron Glenn told reporters on Friday. «But other than that, I need to figure that out.»
A Jets spokesman had no further update.
It's unclear why Boyd, 29, was re-admitted. He was shot in the abdomen and the bullet traveled to his lung and lodged in the pulmonary artery, police said. He underwent multiple medical procedures, posting on Nov. 19 that he was «starting to breathe on my own.»

»Head HIGH, God is not through with me yet!"
He added a green heart emoji.
