Break out some salt for this column, Jets supporters, because what’s to follow may require a grain or two sprinkled over it.

Zach Wilson has been absolutely killing it in practice this week.

Been slinging the ball all over the field. Smiling. Joking with his teammates. Having more fun than he’s had in his three seasons with team that have included three benchings, more losses (20) than wins (11) and more interceptions (25) than touchdown passes (21).

This report comes from his offensive teammates with whom The Post spoke after Thursday’s practice in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Texans at MetLife Stadium.

The player feedback on Wilson’s third career comeback from being benched was so unanimously positive it left me to wonder how the Jets aren’t going to score as many points against the Texans as the 45 they’ve produced in the past five games (all losses).

“I think you’re going to see a good version of Zach Wilson in these next five games,’’ tight end Tyler Conklin said. “He was throwing the ball really well today. He made some good reads, had a couple nice no-look [passes].’’

Conklin is one of the most accountable players in the Jets’ locker room, and he made it his point to say that the offense’s struggles (10 total touchdowns in 12 games this season) should not rest entirely on the shoulders of Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft.

Conklin, too, was one of a number of players we spoke to who left the clear impression that the players remain behind Wilson, that he hasn’t lost the respect of the locker room despite the Monday report that he was “reluctant’’ to return to the field — a report Wilson vehemently denied Wednesday.

If anything, it felt like the players inside the locker room were doubling down on their support of Wilson. Unless these players are excellent actors or future politicians, the vibe inside that room was of one of players outwardly rooting for Wilson to succeed.

“The offense has been struggling, but we’ve struggled as a collective,’’ Conklin said. “I think Zach has actually this year been playing a ton better than he did last year. But as a collective [unit], we haven’t been very good and it all just fell on him.

“The best part about it is he has five games to go out there and let it loose, be as relaxed as possible. The worst has already happened for him. He’s had a tough go for three years. So, he just has to go out there and let it go. I’m happy he’s getting another chance to go out there and play.’’

Conklin is not alone with those thoughts.

“He’s got nothing to lose,’’ tackle Max Mitchell said. “He’s out here playing for himself, playing for us.’’

On Wednesday, Wilson said his mantra for these final five games — almost certainly the final five he’ll play in a Jets uniform — was to have “fun.’’

“This being his second or third chance at coming back like this [after being benched], he’s like — forgive my French — but, ‘You know what? F–k it. Let’s just do it. Let’s just prove a point.’ He’s got nothing to lose, so he’s out there trying prove to the organization and us that he’s who he is — he’s our QB1.’’

Like Conklin and some other teammates, Mitchell has seen a different Wilson in practice this week.

“At the beginning of the week when he started taking [first-team] reps again, it felt a little different,’’ Mitchell said. “He had some really good throws today. On a couple of them, I kind of looked around and was like, ‘Wow, those were pretty damn good throws.’ He just looked good.’’

Receiver Allen Lazard concurred.

“He seems way more relaxed and loose since being benched, understanding that he’s only got a few weeks here left so go and make the most of it,’’ Lazard said.

“He’s had a hell of a week of practice, turning it loose, having fun, putting us in the best position to succeed making checks,’’ running back Dalvin Cook said. “He was playing ball, having fun. We’re all just having fun. We’ve got nothing to lose at this point. We’re going to shoot our bullets. I feel like that’s everyone’s mindset right now.’’

Guard Laken Tomlinson described Wilson as “fired up’’ this week and said, “His energy is contagious. Having him out there fired up and confident gives us some juice.’’

“I’ve been with Zach the last two years and his development from last year to this year has just been unreal. His maturity, his confidence level, the way he carries himself and the way he commands the huddle is 100 percent better. You can tell he’s grown tremendously.’’

Maybe we’ll see that Sunday against the Texans. Maybe we won’t. Either way, you can put the salt shakers away for now.
