Kris Boyd gives major update on his condition as Jets star breaks his silence after shooting in New York

New York Jets star Kris Boyd has broken his silence from hospital after being shot in Manhattan during the early hours of Sunday morning.

In a post on his Instagram story on Wednesday, Boyd shared a picture of himself smiling and lying in a hospital bed.

He captioned the post: 'God is real, God is powerful! I'm sorry I have no words at the moment.. Just grateful!

'I'm coming along, starting to breather on my own now. Sincerely appreciate everyone!' 

Boyd was shot outside popular Asian-fusion restaurant Sei Less at around 2am Sunday, with NBC News reporting Monday that the bullet was still lodged in his lung.  

The shocking incident near West 38th Street and Seventh Avenue is said to have occurred after a verbal dispute escalated, resulting in a gunman firing two shots.

The suspect is still yet to be apprehended.

According to the New York Post, Boyd was partying with Jets linebacker Sherwood and wide receiver Charles at Sei Less - a favorite hotspot of celebrities including Cardi B, 50 Cent, Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg - when they left because he didn't like the 'vibe' amid tension between other groups who were arguing with each other.
