The team also elevated offensive lineman Xavier Newman to the active roster while releasing lineman Chris Glaser. Additionally, offensive lineman Jake Hanson and defensive lineman Tanzel Smart have been promoted from the practice squad.

Brown, who has been sidelined since September with a hip injury, was activated from the injured reserve on Thursday. This was the final day for Brown to be activated, ensuring he could continue playing this season. The 38-year-old lineman's return provides a much-needed boost to the Jets' offensive line, which has been plagued by injuries.

Joining Brown on the active roster is Xavier Newman, who missed the previous game against the Buffalo Bills. Newman, a product of Baylor, has already made appearances in two games this season, showcasing his versatility by playing at both center and right guard positions.

The release of Chris Glaser comes after he started in place of Newman during the Jets' recent game against the Bills. The team has opted to part ways with Glaser, seemingly aiming to make room for other players on the active roster.

In addition to the roster changes, offensive lineman Jake Hanson and defensive lineman Tanzel Smart have been elevated to the active roster from the practice squad. Their inclusion signifies the team's strategy to bolster their lineup and address the injuries that have affected the Jets throughout the season.

The Jets' offensive line has been particularly hard-hit by injuries, the latest being an ankle injury to Mekhi Becton. While Becton's status for the forthcoming game remains uncertain, the additions of Brown, Newman, Hanson, and Smart are expected to provide much-needed depth and stability to the line.

Although Brown's performance in the two weeks he played this season was underwhelming, struggling against edge rushers and contributing to increased pressure on the quarterback, the Jets are hopeful that his return will contribute to an improved offensive line performance. With multiple starting combinations already utilized this season, the Jets will rely on every healthy player they can get to secure a victory against the Miami Dolphins.

As the Jets prepare for their upcoming matchup, the activation of Duane Brown and the accompanying roster moves aim to fortify their offensive line and enhance their chances of success. The team remains focused on addressing their injury concerns and finding the right combination of players to compete at their best.
