Titans WR A.J. Brown changes jersey number

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown will no longer be wearing No. 18 – the same number previously used by former wideout Rishard Matthews – in the upcoming 2019 season.

The team took to Twitter saying that Brown had changed his jersey number to No. 11 in light of recent roster moves.

Brown originally wore No. 1 at Ole Miss.

Here’s a look at some other numbers that were announced last week.

  • DT Jeffery Simmons: No. 98
  • OL Nate Davis: No. 64
  • S Amani Hooker: No. 37
  • LB D’Andre Walker: No. 42
  • LB David Long Jr.: No. 41

Brown was key to the Rebels’ offense, recording 189 receptions for 2,984 yards and 19 touchdowns, also earning first-team All-SEC honors twice.
