The Chicago Bears' running back broke out a different-looking helmet for Monday Night Football.

Why is Roschon Johnson's helmet different?
Roschon Johnson's helmet is different because he is wearing a Guardian Cap.
It's a soft-shell cover that goes over the standard helmet. It's meant to reduce concussions and head injuries.
Johnson has had multiple concussions in his NFL career, one as a rookie in 2023 and a second in 2024.
He wore the Guardian Cap in pregame warmups in late 2024, but not yet in games.
Guardian Caps were first allowed to be worn on NFL practice fields in 2020.
The first time players could wear Guardian Caps in games was 2024.
Johnson has apparently decided it's worth it for his career to keep the big helmet cover on in games, too.
It's certainly a step worth taking. Brain health is obviously crucial.
