Steelers WR Bernard to Use Guardian Cap All Season

Steelers rookie receiver Germie Bernard has announced he'll wear a Guardian Cap throughout the entire season as added protection against head trauma.

The Guardian Cap, initially used primarily during practices, has become increasingly common in games after the NFL allowed players to wear them during games. While some players find the caps bulky, Bernard believes the extra layer of protection will help him maintain his longevity in the sport by reducing the impact of repeated head trauma.
