Overview
- The Jets hosted workouts for Will Levis and Jack Plummer on Thursday as auditions for a practice‑squad quarterback spot, according to multiple reports.
- Levis, a 2023 second‑round pick who started 21 NFL games for Tennessee, was released at final cuts after turnover problems and an injury and remains a free agent.
- Plummer, an undrafted 26‑year‑old who won UFL MVP with the Orlando Storm, offers recent production but has no NFL regular‑season snaps on his résumé.
- Neither player signed with the Jets immediately after the workouts, and the team kept Geno Smith as the starter and Cade Klubnik as the official backup.
- The Jets’ quick auditions reflect roster timing pressures ahead of Week 1 and a preference for short‑term, low‑cost depth that could replace or supplement existing practice‑squad coverage.
