In addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad assigned their new jersey numbers, rookie DL Logan Lee has new digits, too. After wearing No. 74 in training camp, Lee has now been assigned No. 91, according to the team website.
The reason for the change is to avoid the conflict with second-year offensive lineman Spencer Anderson, who also wears No. 74. NFL rules allow for duplicate numbers in training camp, so long as they’re on different sides of the ball, but it’s not allowed for the regular season.
Lee was a surprise addition to the Steelers’ 53-man roster last Tuesday.
