At this point, the Lions might have enough depth to overcome some of these injuries. It's a thin line between being too fired up and toning it down a bit.
If you could, whenever the press conference happens, find out why Thomas wasn't wearing the guardian cap which all players of his position are required to wear. Curious if that's fineable.
There are five or six helmets that test better than the guardian cap and he wears one of them. If you wear a helmet that tests better then you don’t have to wear it. You can wear but you don’t have to
That's the opposite of the goal though. The helmets that test better is for personal protection, not the protection against the opposing player's helmet. They should still be wearing it or is the goal not protection for both players and not just self.
Did Ennis come in for Terrion?
Regardless if he's wearing the cap or not. I don't like that how he buries his head right into sub-zero like that.
It is interesting in all their player safety initiatives, this type of block isn’t banned.
SI reporting Detroit secondary was beat “consistently”. That’s concerning. NYG don’t have an elite WR room, need to get some things figured out there.

Fingers crossed they both escape major injury

It's on the agenda.
I was thinking the same thing. I would have assumed all players would be wearing them for these practices?
That's the rule. His position group is a mandatory wear.

I am in total agreement with you, it’s just what is being reported. But yes, it should be for mutual protection to wear it, not just for the wear-er
