After collapsing at the Jets’ first practice against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, Qwan’tez Stiggers was sent to the hospital. Yesterday he checked out and is doing well. Stiggers has been placed on the concussion protocol. He is expected back in action soon, though he is likely to miss the Jets’ first preseason game on Friday. Losing consciousness and a trip to the hospital is a frightening experience in the violent world of NFL football. Thankfully Stiggers appears to be alright and on his way back soon.
