The Jets are giving Will Levis a second chance.

The 2023 second-round pick is signing with the team’s practice squad, The Post’s Brian Costello confirmed.

The Jets are releasing fellow quarterback Bailey Zappe from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Levis, 27, is three years removed from a promising rookie season with the Titans but has not enjoyed much success and battled injuries in recent years.

He started nine games for Tennessee in 2023 and threw eight touchdowns to four interceptions while tallying 1,808 yards in a solid showing.

Levis’ career took a turn for the worse the following year when the Titans went 2-10 in his 12 starts while he threw 13 touchdowns to 12 interceptions.

The Titans benched him that year, and then replaced him with No. 1 pick Cam Ward in the 2025 Draft.

Levis did not appear in any games last season after undergoing shoulder surgery, and Tennessee waived him in August as part of roster cuts.
