FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The New York Jets will honor the late Dennis Byrd in a pregame ceremony Sunday after he was killed last weekend in a car accident in Oklahoma.

Byrd was an inspiration to many after he overcame brief paralysis and walked again just a few months after injuring his neck during a play in 1992. The defensive lineman, who played for the Jets for four seasons, died in a two-vehicle collision on Oklahoma 88, north of Claremore last Saturday. He was 50.

The Jets will show a video tribute after player introductions Sunday at MetLife Stadium before the game against Baltimore.

A moment of silence will be held before the national anthem, and members of Byrd’s immediate family will serve as honorary captains for the game.
