During training camp, it’s common for two players on the same team to be wearing the same number. With 90-man rosters and retired jerseys numbers (officially and unofficially), there’s bound to be overlap. Often, at least one if not both players wearing the same digits don’t make the 53-man roster.
But in the case of the 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers, there’s currently two players wearing No. 26 poised to make the roster. That’s LB Kwon Alexander and RB Anthony McFarland Jr. Meaning, one of them is going to have to change. It sounds like it’ll be Alexander, who told reporters Monday he has no problem making the switch.
