Bears safety Eddie Jackson is changing his jersey number.
Starting this season, Jackson will wear No. 4, the same number he donned when he played at Alabama. Jackson, who’s worn No. 39 throughout his NFL career, was allowed to switch after the NFL relaxed its jersey number rules earlier this offseason.
The Bears announced Thursday that new running back Damien Williams will wear No. 8, while receiver Marquise Goodwin will wear No. 84 and receiver Damiere Byrd No. 10.
Receiver Javon Wims changed his number to No. 15 and cornerback Artie Burns changed his to No. 25.
The Bears announced two weeks ago that rookie quarterback Justin Fields will wear No. 1. Rookie tackle Teven Jenkins, the team’s second-round pick, will wear No. 76. Rookie running back Khalil Herbert will wear No. 24; cornerback Thomas Graham will wear No. 27; tackle Larry Borom will wear No. 75; receiver Dazz Newsome will wear No. 83; and nose tackle Khyiris Tonga will wear No. 95.
