New York Jets cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home after he left the team's Tuesday joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an ambulance, the team announced. Cimini added that practice was stopped for several minutes, and Stiggers was taken away in an ambulance. Selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL draft, Stiggers is preparing to enter his third season with the Jets. Stiggers' emergence as an NFL player has been a true underdog story, as he did not play college football after playing at The B.E.S.T. Following the trade of star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts last season, Stiggers entered training camp and the preseason with a chance to compete for a starting job in 2026.
