New York Jets cornerback Qwan tez Stiggers was hospitalized after collapsing during a joint practice camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jets head coach Glenn assured that Stiggers was doing well and would be closely monitored. Stiggers, 24, is a backup for the Jets as they rebuild their secondary.

The joint practice saw several confrontations between the two teams, but Glenn commended his team for maintaining composure.
