A few notes on the Green Bay Packers’ uniform numbers after the final cuts: New quarterback Malik Willis, acquired in a trade with the Tennessee Titans, moves into the No. 2 spot, while cornerback Carrington Valentine moves from No. 37 to No. 24.
Willis wore No. 7 in high school at Roswell, in college at Liberty and in the NFL with the Titans, but that number is occupied by linebacker Quay Walker. He will take No. 2, which was vacated by kicker Greg Joseph on Wednesday. Mason Crosby is the most celebrated former Packers player to wear that number.
Valentine is moving closer to the No. 14 he wore at Kentucky. He will take the No. 24 that was vacated by safety Tyler Coyle during training camp. The No. 14 is reserved in Green Bay for Don Hutson.
Hall of Famer Willie Wood once wore No. 24 in Green Bay. Recent Packers players to wear the number include Tariq Carpenter, Isaac Yiadom, Raven Greene, Quinten Rollins and Jarrett Bush.
The official Packers Twitter account posted a mockup of Valentine with the up-to-date numbers:

The Packers have not yet announced the signing of kicker Brayden Narveson. He wore No. 44 at North Carolina State and No. 47 during training camp and the preseason with the Titans, and both numbers are currently available with the Packers.
UPDATE: Narveson will wear number 44.
On the practice squad, quarterback Nate McCrary moved from 30 to 46, while quarterback Jalen Wayne is now at the 86 position, a position previously held by Grant DuBose (now with the Dolphins).
