Jets work out Will Levis ahead of Tennessee opener

A practice-squad role is the likely landing spot.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 31 min read

What happened: New York held Thursday workouts for two quarterbacks, including former Tennessee starter Will Levis. The Jets would be considering either player for the practice squad.

Why it matters: Geno Smith is set to start, with rookie Cade Klubnik positioned as the backup entering the season. Levis became available after clearing waivers following his Titans release.

By the numbers: Levis has a 5-16 career record as a starter. He threw for 1,808 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions in nine rookie starts, then posted 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 12 games the following season.

What to watch: The Jets open the season against Tennessee next week. Any practice-squad signing would clarify whether New York adds another quarterback to its depth chart.
