New York Jets active Duane Brown from IR to help salve O-line

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Former Pro Bowl left tackle Duane Brown will make his New York Jets' debut Sunday after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday -- a potential boost to their injury-ravaged offensive line.

Brown, 37, is expected to start against the Miami Dolphins, becoming the third different player in as many weeks to start at left tackle. He returned to practice Wednesday and made it through the week without any setbacks after injuring a shoulder in a practice leading up to the season opener.

In a corresponding move, the Jets placed right tackle Max Mitchell (knee) on IR, meaning he will be out at least four games.
