Siemian is expected to be QB3 on the New York Jets depth chart, behind Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle. However, he has the opportunity to climb if he impresses in practice and gets the Jets offense clicking.

Aaron Rodgers began this season as New York's starting quarterback. However, the 39-year-old tore his Achilles tendon in their season opener, making Zach Wilson the new QB1.

Although Wilson led New York to a win in Week 1, he struggled in the next two games. Nonetheless, Jets coach Robert Saleh has backed the 24-year-old to remain as the team's starting signal caller.
