With the start of the season, they changed things up.

Woods now wears No. 10, a number previously worn by receiver Davion Davis in the preseason. Davis was not re-signed to the practice squad following his release.

Barnes took Woods’ No. 51.

Woods previously had worn No. 55 and No. 51 in his previous NFL stops with the Bears and Lions.

Barnes had worn No. 51 for his entire career.
