Packers rookie Matthew Golden changes number, becomes first player in team history to wear No. 0

Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Matthew Golden has changed his number once again, and now he'll become the first player in team history to wear a unique, newly available number.Golden, who first picked No. 81 before switching to No. 22, has changed again ahead of the start of the regular season, picking No. 0 as his new number. The number 0 was made available by an NFL rule change in 2023.

Golden wore No. 2 in high school and at both Houston and Texas, but the number is currently worn by quarterback Malik Willis.

Two other players changed numbers on Saturday: running back Israel Abanikanda is now No.
