Jets OT Duane Brown on verge of season debut

Veteran tackle Duane Brown is planning to make his New York Jets debut Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

"As of now, I'm good to go," the five-time Pro Bowl selection told reporters on Friday.

Brown, 37, was placed on injured reserve the day before the season opener with a shoulder injury.

Head coach Robert Saleh said Brown would be a full participant in practice Friday and a game-time decision for the Week 5 AFC East contest between the Jets (2-2) and Dolphins (3-1) in East Rutherford, N.J.

Brown would be a welcome presence on an offensive line that is missing rookie right tackle Max Mitchell, out with a knee injury sustained in last Sunday's 24-20 win at Pittsburgh.

Brown started all 203 of his NFL games with the Houston Texans (2008-17) and Seattle Seahawks (2017-21), most of them at left tackle. He signed a two-year deal worth a reported $20 million with the Jets in August.
