The Indianapolis Colts are a little over a week away from their regular-season opener against the Houston Texans.
With a long regular season ahead, players have to decide the best ways to take care of their bodies so they can take on the hits and pain that come with playing football. Multiple Colts players are using a new NFL policy to their advantage to help them stay healthy on game day.
Kylen Granson & Rodney Thomas II
Granson made it clear he intends to wear a guardian cap over his NFL helmet for the upcoming regular season. This is meant to help prevent head injuries that many NFL players have suffered. He was forced to miss a game last season due to a concussion and is now taking the initiative to prevent such injuries to better his short and long-term health. Along with Granson Colts safety, Rodney Thomas II also plans to wear the guardian caps.
These decisions come after Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor elected to wear the guardian cap throughout the preseason. He hasn't made an announcement at this time on whether he plans to continue this into the regular season. Still, I'm sure Granson and Thomas II took Taylor's feedback into consideration. Some will complain that the guardian caps look weird or ugly, but I, for one, like to see so many players putting their personal health above looking "cool." I hope these players taking this initiative leads to the NFL establishing better methods of protecting their players going forward.
