NFL teams are required to wear Guardian hats on their helmets during practice, and players have the option to wear them during live game action, but only a few in the league have chosen to do so: Jeremiah Owusu -Koramoah, Josh Whyle, James Daniels, Jabrill Peppers, Kylen Gransen, Rodney Thomas II, De’Von Achane and Luke Goedeke, among others.

It appears Chris Olave is on track to become the first New Orleans Saints to choose that option. ESPN’s Katherine Terrell made an interesting observation during Wednesday’s practice. Olave was the only player whose Guardian cap featured a fleur-de-lis. The majority of the protective headgear is blank, so the external team logo may indicate it can be worn in-game.

Whether he goes through with it or not, wearing a Guardian cap could be a good idea for Olave. He has a history of concussions dating back to college. He has suffered one concussion each season in the pros. The wide receiver was just coming back from a concussion last week and took a big hit in the first game, sending him to the blue tent in his first game back.

Three concussions in three years are serious and wearing the Guardian cap adds at least one extra preventive measure for Olave. Any more concussions, and we’ll be having awkward conversations about Olave’s future.
