Jets Cornerback Stiggers Released From Hospital After Ambulance Incident at Practice

Jets cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers was released from the hospital and is recovering at home after leaving Tuesday's joint practice in an ambulance; he regained consciousness and was able to talk, with coach Aaron Glenn saying he's 'good for the most part.' The incident paused practice briefly. A 2024 fifth‑round pick, Stiggers appeared in 14 games as a rookie (eight tackles) and started four of 15 games last season (27 tackles, three passes defended, two fumble recoveries). He is listed as the primary backup behind Brandon Stephens on the Jets' early depth chart for the upcoming season.
