Steelers WR to Wear Guardian Cap All Season

Steelers rookie receiver Germie Bernard plans to wear the Guardian Cap throughout the entire season for added protection against head trauma. Appearing on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast, Bernard explained his decision, noting "It's not normal for our brains to be rattled for 10-plus years" and that the extra layer could help with his career longevity.

The Guardian Cap, initially used only in practices, has become more common in games as players seek to reduce the risk of head injuries. While bulky and affecting helmet aesthetics, the additional padding offers effective protection against concussions and long-term brain conditions like CTE. ipl-cricket.in
