Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: Moves up to limited practice
Rotowire
Stiggers (concussion) was limited in practice Thursday.
Stiggers didn't practice Wednesday, so his upgrade to a full session Thursday is promising in regard to his potential availability for Sunday's matchup against Miami. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Stiggers is expected to suit up in that contest, per Dennis Waszak Jr. of The Associated Press, but he'll need to clear concussion protocol (if he hasn't done so already) in order to do so. Stiggers has played primarily on special teams this season.

Jets' Qwan'tez Stiggers: New York snatches at end of Round 5
Rotowire
The Jets selected Stiggers in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 176th overall.
Stiggers had to take an unorthodox path to the NFL due to life circumstances that prevented him from playing college football in the USA, but after a long story he managed to draw the interest of the CFL, where he won the equivalent of its Rookie of the Year award. Still only 22 years old, Stiggers is a legitimate prospect at corner despite the many unprecedented details in his profile. At 6-feet, 204 pounds, it will be interesting to see if Stiggers gets some looks at safety, but he otherwise profiles as a heavy corner.
