Some players do not want to wear a mouth guard. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is preparing for the possibility of being forced to wear one.
“That will be crazy if we have to do that,” Wilson told Joel McHale, who serves as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “In fact, I’ve been practicing with him every day just so I can get used to it if necessary. But, you know, we’re already out there, you know? So maybe it’s a little late for that. “
The NFL has raised the idea of making mouth guards mandatory. Many players have opposed this possibility. Of the various agreements reached to date between the NFL and the NFL Players Association, the question of whether mouth guards will be required has yet to be resolved.
Earlier this month, Texans defensive end JJ Watt told #PFTPM that he has no interest in wearing any type of face covering, be it a visor or a mouth guard.
