The NFL owners meetings are going on right now in Arizona and they just passed a big motion that will allow players to wear more numbers in 2023.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, players will be allowed to wear the number zero next season. Here is the full list of changes.

  • Quarterbacks can wear numbers 0-19
  • Punters and place kickers can wear numbers 0-49, 90-99
  • Defensive backs can wear numbers 0-49
  • Running backs, full backs, H-backs, tight ends and wide receivers can wear numbers 0-49 and 80-89
  • Linebackers can wear numbers 0-59 and 90-99

This expands on the number restrictions that were lifted priort to the 2021 season. Who will be the first player in Minnesota Vikings history to wear number zero? That will be an interesting one moving forward.
