Gerald McCoy has worn number 93 since college. He wore it at Oklahoma, he wore it for nine years in Tampa, he wore it in 2019 with the Panthers, and he was going to wear it last season in Dallas until an injury kept him from ever suiting up for the Cowboys.
Then he showed up in Raiders camp wearing number 61. The change had many wondering of it was permanent. But McCoy said Sunday that, rest assured, he will be wearing number 93 again come the season.

Currently, Kendal Vickers is wearing the number 93, but Vickers has no attachment to it. He wore 91 last season and switched because free-agent addition Yannick Ngakoue wanted it. So, it stands to reason Vickers wouldn’t have any issues with letting McCoy have 93.
This is all, of course, dependent upon McCoy making the team. Or should McCoy make the roster and Vickers doesn’t, the number will be available anyway.
