Levis gets another shot with Jets
Will Levis is signing to the New York Jets practice squad after being out of the NFL since August. He worked out for the team earlier this month.
Titans cut him in August
Levis was drafted second round by Tennessee in 2023 and started nine games his rookie year. He won the starting job in 2024 but went 2-10 before being benched.
Shoulder surgery cost him 2025
Levis had shoulder surgery and missed the entire 2025 season. The Titans drafted Cam Ward first overall that year, making Levis expendable.

Levis threw for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions while completing 61 percent of his passes in his 21 NFL starts.
Third string in New York
Geno Smith is the Jets starter with rookie Cade Klubnik as backup. Levis joins Bailey Zappe on the practice squad.
