Jaguars’ Anton Harrison, Christian Braswell change jersey numbers

Jacksonville Jaguars first- and sixth-round rookies Anton Harrison and Christian Braswell will wear different jersey numbers this season than they did through camp and preseason.

On Thursday morning, the Jaguars announced Harrison will wear No. 77 this year and Braswell will wear No. 21. The team also said newly added Angelo Blackson will take No. 90.

Harrison, the No. 27 overall pick in April, previously wore No. 76 this offseason. The No. 77 jersey was owned by offensive tackle Josh Wells, who landed on the season-ending injured reserve Tuesday. There’s been no announcement of a move to release Wells from the IR with a settlement, but Harrison’s jersey swap may indicate that’s coming soon.

Braswell previously wore No. 36 while fellow rookie Latavious Brini, who was waived Tuesday, had No. 21.

Players who once wore the No. 77 jersey in Jacksonville included guard Uche Nwaneri and guard/tackle Zach Wiegert. The Jaguars’ No. 21 jersey once belonged to cornerbacks Aaron Beasley, A.J. Bouye, and Derek Cox. Current Jaguars cornerback Darious Williams was No. 21 for a stretch before switching to No. 31.
