Steelers WR to Wear Guardian Cap All Season

Steelers rookie receiver Germie Bernard confirmed on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast that he plans to wear the extra helmet protection all season. The decision follows another study highlighting the link between NFL play and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Guardian Caps, typically used in practices, have become more common in games as players seek additional protection. While acknowledging the caps' bulky appearance, Bernard emphasized his commitment to long-term health, stating, "For me to play, like longevity, it's not normal for our brains to be rattled for 10-plus years." bettingx.club
