Lions free-agent additions get uniform numbers

Allen Park — The six players the Detroit Lions signed in free agency officially received uniform numbers on Monday.

Best known for belonging to Jason Hanson, DJ Chark will wear No. 4 with the Lions. During his four years in Jacksonville, the veteran receiver sported the No. 17, after donning No. 7 while playing for LSU.

In Detroit, Trinity Benson is currently No. 17, while No. 7 is retired after last being worn by Hall of Famer Dutch Clark in 1938. The player to most recently wear No. 4 with the Lions wasn't Hanson, but backup quarterback Chase Daniel.
