Steelers WR Bernard to Wear Guardian Cap All Season

Appearing on the "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" podcast, Bernard explained his decision, saying "I'm standing on it. I'm gonna wear it. Yes, the entire year." He discussed concerns from his girlfriend about long-term brain health, noting that "it's not normal for our brains to be rattled for 10-plus years."

The Guardian Cap, typically used during practices, is now being adopted by more players in games despite being "bulky and clunky." While the extra protection can't hurt, there's concern that players might feel overly secure and become less careful with head contact. wlop.pl
