    Players wear padded helmets in practice, I presume to prevent concussions.

    Why don’t they wear padded helmets during games?

    Per rules probably not permissible.

    This is the first year that the NFL has allowed in game helmet padding. The only player I have seen wearing it is a Pittsburgh offensive lineman.

    They are in the NFL. They just make it match the helmet.

    If Tua comes back he should be mandated to wear one.

    Practice helmets don’t look like this.
