The shooting took place shortly after 2 a.m., police said, according to the New York Post.
The Jets did not play Sunday, having lost to the New England Patriots on Thursday.
“We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time,” a representative of the team said, according to the newspaper.
Boyd was shot in the abdomen outside a restaurant after a dispute became violent, the New York Post reported, citing police sources it did not name.
Two shots were fired, police said. It was uncertain whether Boyd was the target.
Witnesses reported that two high-end vehicles fled the scene — a BMW X6 SUV and a Mercedes-Benz Mayback.

The shooting remains under investigation.
A report in the New York Post said Boyd told police he had gone into the Sei Less restaurant briefly.
He told police the “vibe” was wrong and there was tension in the restaurant, which is often frequented by celebrities, according to the newspaper.
Boyd signed for $1.6 million contract to play for the Jets this year.
As noted by WABC, Boyd has not played this year after injuring his shoulder during the preseason.
Boyd previously played for the Minnesota Vikings, the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans.
