The New York Jets are bringing Jordan Clark back up to the active roster for Week 14.
The news was announced Saturday that the Jets will have Clark on their active roster for Sunday's matchup with the Miami Dolphins.
Clark is the son of ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, the former standout safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Clark, also a safety like his father, began his college career at Arizona State.
He played parts of five seasons with the Sun Devils. In 40 total games, he had 139 tackles, including seven for loss, while intercepting three passes.

Clark transferred to Notre Dame for his final year of college eligibility and went all the way to the national championship game with the Fighting Irish.
He played in 16 games for Notre Dame, totaling 37 tackles, including two for a loss. He also intercepted a pass and had five passes defensed.
Clark doesn't have a lot of size, measuring at 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds. He didn't make the Jets' roster in the preseason, but he was elevated for the first time in Week 13, not recording a stat in a win over the Falcons.
This week, Clark will try to make an impact again.
His father started his NFL career as a practice squad player, too, so Clark has a path to follow.
