The Patriots held their first OTA session on Monday (closed to media), which meant players and coaches were on the field together for the first time, just not in pads.
New England released its full roster as of now, including jersey numbers, so some new numbers for some players were revealed.
With Jalen Mills taking No. 2, Brian Hoyer is now No. 5. Second-year player Kyle Dugger is switching from No. 35 to No. 23, which was previously worn by Patrick Chung.
New linebacker Matthew Judon will take advantage of the relaxed number rules for defensive players and wear No. 9.
Here's a complete list of new veteran jersey numbers from the team.
