The move came moments after the league owners approved the proposal to allow players to wear the number zero, according to NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero, who reported Tuesday from the Annual League Meeting.
NFL owners just approved the proposal to allow players to wear Number Zero, I’m told.

Philadelphia will undoubtedly have a player switch to zero because the Eagles proposed the change earlier this month to allow players to wear No. 0.

With the move now official, we’re looking at which Philadelphia players could switch.
Kenneth Gainwell -- #14
Gainwell wore No. 19 at Memphis and could be looking for a number switch as his role increases.
Marcus Mariota - No number
Mariota is without a number.
Rashaad Penny -- No number
Penny is without a jersey number, and Eagles fans would love to see No. 0 outrunning opposing defenders.
Quez Watkins -- #16
After a down 2022, Quez could look for a change.
A.J. Brown -- #11
The most eccentric personality on the team could look to shake things up tremendously.
Grant Calcaterra -- #81
Calcaterra wore No. 80 at Oklahoma before switching to No. 88 at SMU. The talented pass catcher could look to make a switch.
Jordan Davis -- #99
The former Georgia All-American already has a zero in his jersey number and could look for a change after injuries slowed down his rookie momentum.
Shaun Bradley -- #54
Bradley wore the No. 5 at Temple and could be looking for a reset.
Haason Reddick
Reddick has experience rocking a single-digit, and after logging 19.5 sacks in 20 games last season, he could see jersey sales skyrocket.
Josh Sweat -- #94
Sweat wore a single digit at Florida State and has the swag to pull off such a move.
