The Detroit Lions have handed out new jersey numbers to five new players, including rookies Jeff Okudah, D’Andre Swift, and Julian Okwara, as well as vets Adrian Peterson and Jayron Kearse.

According to the team website, the Detroit Lions have handed out new jersey numbers to ten players, including rookies Jeff Okudah, D’Andre Swift, and Julian Okwara, as well as vets Adrian Peterson and Jayron Kearse.

Here are their new jersey numbers for players on the active roster:

  • CB Jeff Okudah: 30
  • RB D’Andre Swift: 32
  • EDGE Julian Okwara: 99
  • RB Adrian Peterson: 28
  • S Jayron Kearse: 42

Here are the new jersey numbers for players on the practice squad:

  • RB Jonathan Williams: 41
  • DE Jonathan Wynn: 69
  • CB Dee Virgin: 36
  • S Jalen Elliott: 46
  • LS Steve Wirtel: 54

Jason Cabinda and Jamal Agnew switched over from defense to offense this offseason but because of how they are listed on the depth chart they can retain their original numbers.

Cabinda is listed as a linebacker/full back on the depth chart and can therefore maintain No. 53, while Agnew is listed as a running back/wide receiver and can maintain his No. 39 jersey.
