Lions assign jersey numbers to free agent signings

Per the team site, the newest members of the Detroit Lions now have their jersey numbers.

Wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. will wear the newly-approved number 0. He donned the number 11 last time he was with Detroit, which is now held by Kalif Raymond.

Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson will sport the number 2, which he has been after since signing with the team.

Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley will keep the number 4, which he wore last season with San Francisco.

Running back David Montgomery wore 32 for the Bears and in college, but has opted to go for number 5 with the Lions.

Cornerback Cam Sutton will wear number 6. He initially wanted to wear 7, his number from college, but it is retired by the franchise.

Cornerback Mac McCain will wear number 23, last held in Detroit by Mike Hughes.

Jalen Reeves-Maybin was unable to get his old number 44, and will instead wear 42.

Tight end Derrick Deese will once again wear 48 for the Lions. It was his number when he was with the team last offseason.

Long snapper Jake McQuaide will wear number 50, an unusual choice for the position.

Offensive lineman Graham Glasgow is the only free agent signing who has yet to be assigned a number. His old number 60 is currently held by Darrin Paulo. His college number, 61, is available though.
