Bernard made the announcement on the "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" podcast, stating, "I'm standing on it. I'm gonna wear it. Yes, the entire year." He expressed concerns about long-term brain health, saying, "It's not normal for our brains to be rattled for 10-plus years. So that is something that can help me in the long run." truewildslot.com

The Guardian Cap, initially only allowed during practices, is now permitted in games. While bulky and not aesthetically pleasing, the extra layer of protection is gaining popularity among players concerned about head trauma and CTE risks.
