Qwan'tez Stiggers collapses at joint practice
Jets cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers collapsed during Tuesday's joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, per Adam Schefter.
Stiggers was given an IV on the field and taken off on a stretcher. The incident halted practice for about 10 minutes.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn addressed the situation after practice. "He came to the sideline and he just passed out," Glenn said, adding that Stiggers was conscious and able to speak.
What this means for the Jets depth chart
Stiggers, a 2024 fifth-round pick, has appeared in 29 games for New York. He is primarily a special teams contributor, making his impact as a gunner on punt coverage rather than as a featured corner.
From a roster standpoint, the severity of what caused the collapse is not yet known. No return timeline has been given. Fantasy managers in deep or dynasty formats who rostered Stiggers for special teams upside should watch for the Jets' next medical update before making any moves.
