Jets sign Will Levis ahead of Week 3 game against Lions
Summary

The New York Jets have signed former Titans quarterback Will Levis ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Levis, a 2023 second-round pick, was released by the Titans after a challenging tenure. His addition is meant to bolster depth behind starting quarterback Geno Smith, who remains the team's primary option. Both the Jets and Lions currently hold a record of 1-1. Detroit is looking to rebound from a 41-31 loss to Buffalo, while the Jets are coming off an overtime defeat to Green Bay.
