In the wake of the season-ending injury suffered by right tackle Jon Jansen, the Washington Redskins worked out a handful of offensive linemen this morning, signing one of the most durable players in recent league history.

Veteran Ray Brown, 41, whose 16-year career includes a five-season stint with the Redskins between 1989-95, was added to the roster and worked out with the team today at Redskin Park. Since 1992, Brown has missed only one game.



Brown started his career with the St. Louis Rams in 1986 and played there for two seasons. After a season in Arizona, Brown joined the Redskins in 1989. After playing in seven games as a reserve that season, Brown didn't play the next two years because of an elbow injury. But in 1992, he started eight times for Washington and played in all 16 games. By 1994, he was a full-time starter.

He left Washington after the 1995 season and spent six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He played the past two seasons with the Detroit Lions.
