New Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back Jonathan Ward has a new number.
After earning a roster spot following a rookie minicamp tryout two weeks ago, Ward — who signed with the Steelers Tuesday morning — will wear No. 48, according to the NFL Jersey Numbers Twitter account.

As the account points out, the No. 48 was last worn by Steelers’ running back Godwin Igwebuike, who spent most of the 2023 season with the Steelers after being signed off of the practice squad of the Atlanta Falcons early in the season.
