Lions Reveal 2025 Jersey Number Changes

The Detroit Lions have announced new jersey numbers for several players in the 2025 season. Notably, running back Jahmyr Gibbs will switch to No. 0 from No. 26, and wide receiver Jameson Williams will move from No. 9 to No. 1, both returning to their college numbers from Alabama. Cornerback Terrion Arnold will change from No. 0 to No. 6, while Ennis Rakestraw switches from No. 15 to No. 9. The team also announced numbers for new free-agent signees, including D.J. Reed (No. 4) and Kenny Yeboah (No. 88). NFL rules require players switching numbers to buy out the inventory of their old jerseys, and jersey number flexibility was expanded in 2021 to include numbers 0-49 and 80-89 for various positions.
