The Jets announced their plans for Sunday’s tribute to the late Dennis Byrd.
Byrd, who played for the Jets from 1989-92 and overcame paralysis from an on-field injury that ended his career, died in a car crash Saturday in Oklahoma.
Before Sunday’s game with the Ravens, the Jets will show a tribute on the stadium’s videoboards that tells the story of his career and his battle back from injury. There will then be a moment of silence before the national anthem.
Members of Byrd’s immediate family will serve as honorary captains during the coin toss.
