Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth has suffered at least three documented concussions since entering the NFL, two as a rookie. While he managed to escape head injuries last season, he did not escape a groin injury, which cost him several weeks.
Despite his concussion history, however, Freiermuth says he will not take advantage of the NFL’s new in-game policy. Having recently introduced Guardian Caps into practice settings, players can now wear them in games.
“No. No. No”, Freiermuth said on Tuesday when asked if he planned to wear one via the team’s website.
