NFL jersey number updates: Tracking which NFL players wear No. 0
The NFL will see some stars go from hero to zero next season.
As reported by ESPN's Mike Reiss, the league will allow players other than offensive and defensive linemen to wear the jersey No. 0.
The change, proposed by the Philadelphia Eagles, continues a recent relaxation of the league's uniform-related policies, which included allowing additional alternate helmets with throwback uniforms and permitting more players to wear single digits.
College football players have been able to don the goose egg since the 2020 season, so the announcement was met with excitement from pros who were eager to update their digit:
D'Andre Swift,Philadelphia Eagles
Braxton Berrios, Miami Dolphins
Calvin Ridley, Jacksonville Jaguars
Parris Campbell, New York Giants
Some players opted to go with new numbers other than No. 0 for the upcoming season:
Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals
Darren Waller, Giants
