The New York Jets activated veteran left tackle Duane Brown from the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday.
Brown, who turns 38 later this month, is coming back from offseason surgery to repair a torn left rotator cuff.
Head coach Robert Saleh said Brown will be ready for the Sept. 11 season opener against the visiting Buffalo Bills.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection will be protecting the blind side of four-time NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Brown started 12 games in his first season with the Jets in 2022. He has started all 215 games in which he has played with the Houston Texans (2008-17), Seattle Seahawks (2017-21) and Jets.
The Jets signed Brown to a two-year, $20 million contract in August 2022. He is due a non-guaranteed base salary of $9 million for 2023 and carries a cap hit of $11.28 million, per Spotrac.
