Santonio Holmes Returns to Jets

The New York Jets' streaking offense got stronger Monday with the return of wide receiver Santonio Holmes, who served a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

Holmes, who learned of his suspension before his trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers in April, has spent the last few weeks at the Jets' facility. He was allowed to attend meetings and work out, but wasn't permitted to practice or attend games.

The former Super Bowl MVP will practice Wednesday, when the Jets begin preparation for their Monday night home game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Adding defensive-line depth, the Jets re-signed tackle Howard Green, as expected. They released Green last week to make room for defensive end Trevor Pryce. The uncertain status of end Shaun Ellis (sprained knee), injured in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Buffalo Bills, adds to the importance of line depth.

To make room for Green and Holmes, who was activated from the suspended list, the Jets waived wide receivers David Clowney and Patrick Turner. Clowney has one reception for 22 yards. Turner could be added to the practice squad.
