On April 21, the NFL approved a proposal that relaxes the jersey number rules of certain position groups, opening the door for wide receivers, defensive backs, and some others to wear single-digit numbers. Moseley and Verrett are taking advantage of the relaxed rules.

Moseley, 25, has recorded 98 tackles, 17 passes defensed, and two interceptions through his three NFL seasons.
