The Detroit Lions have officially unveiled jersey numbers for 27 players ahead of the 2026 season, including 18 new acquisitions and nine returning players switching digits. The team made the announcement on social media Monday, May 11, giving fans a fresh look at their roster.

Perhaps the most talked-about change involves veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who is back for his third stint with the Lions. Bridgewater, known for his calm presence under center, has reclaimed his iconic No. 5 jersey—a number he wore across five teams from 2014 to 2021. The number became available after running back David Montgomery, who wore it from 2023 to 2025, was traded to the Houston Texans on March 2. Bridgewater previously donned No. 10 and No. 12 during his earlier Lions campaigns in 2023 and 2024.

Among the newcomers, center Cade Mays will sport No. 64, while running back Isiah Pacheco has chosen No. 10. These additions bring fresh energy to a Lions squad that continues to build momentum after recent playoff appearances.

While this year's number changes among returning players aren't as headline-grabbing as last season's swaps—when running back Jahmyr Gibbs moved from No. 26 to No. 0 and wide receiver Jameson Williams switched from No. 9 to No. 1—there are still some notable shifts. Defensive end Tyler Lacy is moving from No. 78 to No. 93, a number previously held by recently waived defensive end Josh Paschal. Additionally, defensive end Levi Onwuzurike will now wear No. 95 after wearing No. 91 from 2023 to 2024.

For fans keeping track, these new digits mean fresh jerseys to consider for game day. Whether you're repping Bridgewater's No. 5 or Pacheco's No. 10, the Lions' evolving roster offers plenty of options to show your support as the team gears up for another competitive season.
