The NFL announced next season that players will be able to wear protective soft-shell helmet covers, known as Guardian Caps, during games if they choose.

The league is also expanding its use of devices during practices. Defensive backs and receivers join the position groups required to wear caps during all contact practices.

Starting in 2022, the NFL will require some players to wear caps during practice. The only remaining position groups not required to wear caps during practice are quarterbacks, kickers and punters.
