Jason Taylor, the Jets, six-time pro bowl defensive end has been cleared to play for Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Pittsburgh. 

Last week in the Jets 28-21 road upset of the top-seeded New England Patriots, Taylor suffered a concussion but according to head coach Rex  Ryan, "he has passed the test so we are ready to roll."

After more than a decade with the Dolphins, a disappointing season with the Washington Redskins and a return to Miami, Taylor signed with Miami's arch rival, the Jets. 

In his first season, Taylor recorded 36 tackles and five sacks and posted a critical tackle-for-loss that resulted in a safety the last time the Jets played the Steelers at Heinz Field, back in Week 15.
