New York Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers is taken to a hospital by ambulance after briefly losing consciousness during Tuesday’s practice. Multiple outlets report he passed out on or near the sideline and was then stretchered off the field for further evaluation.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is quoted saying Stiggers comes to the sideline after a play and then passes out. At least some reporting indicates Stiggers is conscious and able to talk before being transported. The incident occurs during a joint practice involving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and reporters note there is no immediate medical update on his condition.
Outlets characterize the same sequence—collapse, ambulance transport, and hospital examination—while differing mainly in wording, such as whether they emphasize the “scary scene” versus the reported fact that he appears to be doing okay afterward. Overall, coverage aligns that Stiggers is alert before departure and that the team is awaiting further assessment at the hospital.
