Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers, who lost consciousness during a joint practice on Tuesday, is in the NFL’s concussion protocol.
He is home resting and recovering, coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday.
“Talked to him a good amount last night and he’s doing well,” Glenn said, via Rich Cimini of ESPN. “I talked to his wife and she’s taking good care of him, so happy about that.”
Stiggers was transported by ambulance to a local hospital after collapsing on the sideline. He was released after further evaluation.
Stiggers, 24, entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick of the Jets in 2024 after not playing college football. He played one season for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.
He has appeared in 29 games for the Jets, seeing action on 503 special teams snaps and 297 on defense.
