Nobody wants to be a zero — wearing the number zero is an entirely different discussion.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday that the league owners voted at the Annual League Meeting and approved a proposal allowing players to wear No. 0.
NFL owners just approved the proposal to allow players to wear Number Zero, I’m told.

The Philadelphia Eagles suggested the adjustment, which features a handful of changes to the rule.

- Running back, tight ends and wide receivers numbers can wear numbers 0-49 and 80-89
- Offensive linemen can wear numbers 50-79
- Linebackers can wear numbers 0-59 and 90-99.
