New York Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers exited practice Tuesday in an ambulance and was transported to a local hospital after collapsing during a joint practice session with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that Stiggers "passed out" but was conscious and able to speak.
The incident occurred after a play, when Stiggers came to the sideline and fell. The 24-year-old player was a fifth-round selection by the Jets in the 2024 NFL Draft. Last season, Stiggers appeared in 15 games, recording 27 total tackles and recovering two fumbles.
