Qwan'tez Stiggers turned an impossible journey into a crucial Jets role New York Jets cornerback Qwan'tez Stiggers has had an impossible journey to the NFL, and he's now managed to carve out an important role wit...
JULY 29 • THEJETPRESS.COM
Won't play Sunday Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Stiggers (knee) is ruled out for the team's season finale against the Bills on Sunday.
Impact Stiggers will miss Sunday's season finale due to the knee injury he suffered versus the Patriots in Week 17, bringing his 2025 campaign to an end with 27 tackles (17 solo), three passes defensed and two fumble recoveries across 15 regular-season appearance. The 2024 fifth-round pick will stand to spend the coming offseason competing to earn a role in New York's cornerback rotation for the 2026 campaign.

Misses practice Wednesday Stiggers (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Stiggers suffered a knee injury this past Sunday against New England and couldn't finish the loss. The extent of the issue isn't clear, but it's certainly not a good sign that he wasn't able to practice in any capacity to begin this week. Should Stiggers be sidelined Sunday against Buffalo, Jordan Clark could absorb most of his cornerback reps.

The second-round cornerback has accumulated eight tackles (four solo) and one fumble recovery through 11 regular-seasons while contributing mostly on special teams.
DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Moves up to limited practice Stiggers (concussion) was limited in practice Thursday.
Impact 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.
