New York Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers is taken off the field by ambulance during a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after he briefly loses consciousness. Multiple outlets report that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn says Stiggers comes to the sideline after a play and then passes out.
Stiggers is transported to a local hospital and placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol, according to Yahoo Sports and other coverage. By Wednesday, the Jets announce he is released from the hospital, and further reports describe him as improving. Outlets largely agree on the timeline—passing out at practice, ambulance transport, hospital evaluation, and concussion protocol—but they differ in emphasis: some focus on the immediate incident, while others highlight the team’s subsequent updates on his condition and clearance to leave the hospital.
