Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah appears to be making yet another jersey number change. Okudah posted what seems to be an announcement of a new jersey number on his social media. - Okudah’s Instagram story featured a picture of himself in a No. 1 Detroit Lions jersey. He also had a simple slide showing “#1”. - If he is indeed changing his number, it will be the third in as many seasons. Okudah wore No. 30 as a rookie in 2020. He changed that to No. 23 for the 2021 season. - - The first two seasons of Okudah’s career have not gone as well as hoped for either the player himself or the Lions. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, Okudah has struggled through injuries and played in just 10 games. He tore his Achilles in the first half of Week 1 a year ago. - Screen captures courtesy Garry Luke - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
