The Detroit Lions are leaning on rookie strong safety Amari Spievey to replace C.C. Brown against the New York Jets.

Brown is inactive Sunday with a knee injury.

Jets coach Rex Ryan is starting defensive end Vernon Gholston in place of Mike Devito, likely hoping the opportunity in his hometown would help him get a sack for the first time in his three-year career.
