Minnesota Vikings announce jersey number changes, including making Adam Thielen's official after the trade

The biggest one here is Thielen getting his number 19 back. It was inevitable that Thielen was going to wear his old number, as wide receiver Dontae Fleming wore 19 during the preseason. He is on the practice squad and will have his number changed.

Fans will be able to pull their 19 jerseys out and wear them over the course of the season. It's also going to be huge for fans who want to get themselves a new jersey, as they know he will have his old number.

The switch for Hargrave was likely to accommodate Richter wanting 98 back, as Hargrave wore 97 with the Philadelphia Eagles for part of his tenure there. It's not much different than 98, but 97 is a very clean number for a defensive tackle.
