When LeSean McCoy joined the Eagles after being drafted, he was given the #29 to wear, as the number he wanted was in use by Lorenzo Booker. After final cuts, with Lorenzo Booker no longer on the team, McCoy went to the Eagles and asked if he could switch his number to the now vacant #25. The Eagles had no problem with this, and last week McCoy came out in practice wearing a new #25 McCoy jersey, the number McCoy wore at the University of Pittsburgh. However, later in the week the NFL disallowed this jersey change to be made, and instead said McCoy had to wear #29 because there were already #29 McCoy jerseys being sold in stores. So, I guess if you bought a #29 McCoy jersey, you are in luck, because McCoy is still wearing the #29 jersey… for now.
