On Wednesday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced jersey numbers for all 90 players on the roster. Actually, considering tight end Hunter Bryant is listed—and he currently doesn’t count against the roster on the reserve/NFI list—they listed the numbers of 91 players.
Given the new NFL rules that loosen the restrictions on jersey numbers by position, there are a lot of new numbers to memorize. Of note, Lions first-round pick Penei Sewell is taking his college number, 58, which was previously only available to linebackers and centers. Jamie Collins Sr., who had the 58 last year, will now wear No.
