Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor wore a Guardian Cap on Sunday in the club's preseason opener against the Denver Broncos.
The Guardian Cap is a soft-shell helmet cover that players can wear to provide another layer of protection from hits to the head. The company states that the product helps reduce impact by up to 33%.
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman James Daniels became the first player to wear one during a game Saturday.
"My head doesn't hurt, so that's good. ... Hopefully, more and more people start wearing them," Daniels said postgame, per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Taylor has played only 21 games over the last two seasons due to ankle and heel injuries.
