The Philadelphia Eagles added two veterans players to their roster this week: linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and offensive tackle Will Beatty. Their jersey numbers have since been revealed.
Ellerbe will wear No. 57, which was previously worn by 2016 seventh-round defensive end Alex McCalister. The last Eagles linebacker to wear No. 57 was Travis Long. Ellerbe previously wore No. 59 his entire career. Joe Walker currently has that number, so he’ll get to keep that, but Ellerbe could take playing time away from Walker.
Beatty will wear No. 66.
