You will no longer to see No. 56 head-hunting in the middle of the defense for the Chargers.
Linebacker Kenneth Murray, who previously wore that number in his rookie season, will now be sporting No. 9 moving forward, according to the team’s official website.
After NFL owners approved a rule change proposed by the Chiefs that loosens jersey number rules, Murray was among the few who expressed interest in changing numbers.
Murray wore No. 9 all throughout his collegiate career and it just so happens that it was available, which wouldn’t have caused any discretions between players.
Safety Derwin James is another player who will most likely change his jersey number, going from No. 33 to 3, which is the number he wore at Florida State.
