"God is real. God is powerful," the post read. "I’m sorry I have no words at the moment … Just grateful! I’m coming along, starting to breathe on my own now. Sincerely appreciate everyone."

The update came after Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Boyd was "upbeat" in their recent conversation.

"That’s what eases my mind, is that he’s in good spirits," Glenn told reporters during his media availability ahead of the team’s Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens. "His wife and his kid, they’re in good spirits and he will walk away from this just fine."

Boyd was listed in critical but stable condition. Glenn said he didn’t have a timeline for when Boyd could possibly be released from the hospital.

"Don’t know just yet," the coach said. "But I will say this, just talking to him, he felt really upbeat. And again, that’s what gives me comfort, that he feels like that and he’s talking that way."
