Jets Sign Former Second-Round QB After OT Collapse vs Packers

The New York Jets have signed quarterback Will Levis to their practice squad and released Bailey Zappe from it.

The New York Jets have bolstered their quarterback depth by signing former second-round pick Will Levis to their practice squad following their overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Levis, a 27-year-old 2023 second-round draft choice, will join the Jets in an attempt to revive his faltering NFL career. The move comes after Levis was waived and subsequently released by the Tennessee Titans last month.

Despite his limited NFL experience, with 21 career games and a 61% completion rate, Levis could serve as a valuable backup for the Jets as they navigate their season. If Levis impresses during his time on the practice squad, he may eventually earn a spot on the active roster.
