40 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 40 for New England

The New England Patriots will open their 2024 campaign against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, September 8 at 1:00 p.m. ET, which is now 40 days away.

Until the opening kickoff of the season for the Patriots, we'll be counting down each day by looking back at those who have worn each specific jersey number.

Since 1960, 11 players have worn No. 40 in New England, and with 40 days until their first game of the year, here's a look at everyone who's worn the number for the team:

DB Carlos Yancy: 1995

  • Appeared in four games for New England in one season

RB Scott Lockwood: 1992-93

  • Appeared in six games for New England over two seasons, rushing for 162 yards on 4.
