San Francisco 49ers rookie safety Malik Mustapha recently asked fans on X (formerly Twitter) whether he should change his jersey number. It seems he's made his decision.

Mustapha will debut a new number when he hits the practice field on Tuesday, and he isn't the only rookie making a switch ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets.

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the following rookies have updated their jersey numbers:

In addition, the following veterans, both on the practice squad, will wear these numbers:

  • WR Trent Taylor, 81 (previously 19)
  • WR Terrace Marshall, 84 (recent signing)

Tuesday's practice is a bonus session. The 49ers will begin their regular game week practice schedule on Thursday before hosting the Jets at Levi's Stadium in one week.
