FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- On the final day of his 21-day practice window, New York Jets left tackle Duane Brown was activated from injured reserve Thursday and added to the 53-man roster.

By rule, Brown, 38, would've remained on IR for the remainder of the season if the Jets hadn't made the move. It's unclear what role, if any, he will have against the Miami Dolphins in the NFL's first Black Friday game.

The Jets have major issues on the offensive line, as they have started a league-high 11 players in 10 games.
