The Dallas Cowboys have a handful of players changing their digits ahead of the start of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n

According to the league’s transactions wire <\/a>on Wednesday, a total of six Cowboys are now sporting new numbers.<\/p>\n

After it was assumed the Cowboys would only keep five wideouts, training camp and preseason breakout star Camden Brown forced Dallas to keep a sixth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with Brown, defensive lineman Tyus Wheat was another underdog who made the cut after his own impressive performance in exhibition play. The under-the-radar edge rusher even beat out Sam Williams<\/a>, who was widely viewed as the top candidate to grab the last edge rusher spot on the initial group.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full list of players to change their jersey numbers after landing on the 53-man or practice squad rosters for the upcoming season, which includes Brown and Wheat.<\/p>\n

WR Camden Brown: From 6 to 80RB Israel Abanikanda: From 30 to 25DL Jonathan Bullard: From 98 to 90WR Jordan Hudson: From 18 to 81DB Ameer Speed: From 39 to 23OLB Tyrus Wheat: From 90 to 59<\/p>\n

Another roster surprise, Speed wasn’t really on anyone’s radar in terms of making it on the 53-man roster, but he defied the odds in a cornerbacks room that is a bit more crowded this season.<\/p>\n

Bullard was inked in free agency<\/a> in March and was considered a lock to make the roster, but his spot was at least somewhat in doubt before cutdown day after he has missed a ton of time during the offseason because of an injury.<\/p>\n

Abanikanda and Hudson are both on Dallas’ practice squad<\/a>. The former was impressive in his opportunities and the Cowboys opted to keep him over 2025 fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue.<\/p>\n

This won’t be the last of the number changes for the Cowboys and we know of at least one more that is coming down the ‘pike.<\/p>\n

That change is wide receiver Jonathan Mingo, who is currently listed with No. 81, the same number Hudson changed to.<\/p>\n

We also know that veteran edge rusher Von Miller is lobbying to get his No. 40 from fullback Hunter Luekpe<\/a>. Miller has made offers to pry the number away from Luepke, but it appears negotiations are ongoing.<\/p>\n

“So we’re able to work something out and I think I’m 90% sure we’ll be able to get that done,” Miller said on the Free Range w\/ Von Miller<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

His offers to Luepke include free chicken for life from his company, Greener Pastures Chicken, and paying for a full-body tattoo for the Cowboys fullback.<\/p>\n

However, Luepke made a counter offer for a two-percent stake in Miller’s company, which Miller appears to be open to. That would be quite the price to pay for a number, as Miller says the stake would be worth in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

Talk about dedication to a jersey number.<\/p>\n
