**Buffalo, NY** – With the Bills (3-2) set to face the Jets (2-3) on Monday Night Football, the game promises to have a significant impact on the AFC East division race. As Buffalo gears up for the crucial matchup, safety Taylor Rapp has made a decision to protect himself by wearing a Guardian Cap over his helmet.

Rapp suffered a concussion during the Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens, and while he has been cleared to return, he will be taking extra precautions. The Guardian Cap, a soft-shelled padded covering designed to absorb up to 10% of the force of a hit, is believed to reduce concussion risk significantly. While it has been required for linemen during training camp, this is the first season it can be worn during regular season games. Rapp is believed to be the first Bills player to utilize the Guardian Cap in a game.

“For sure, I’m wearing it,” Rapp told The Buffalo News after practice Thursday. “I liked wearing (the cap) during training camp and I switched to the new helmet (as well). It was definitely something I was considering (before the concussion).”

Meanwhile, other Bills news includes:

* **Rookie defensive tackle Zion Logue made his NFL debut last week against the Texans, recording two tackles in 20 snaps. **
* **The Bills’ offense has struggled with three-and-out possessions in their last two games, while the defense continues to excel at forcing turnovers.**
* **Former Jets quarterback Mike White, now on the Bills’ practice squad, is looking forward to facing his former team.**
* **The Bills are keeping an eye on Ohio State edge rusher J.T. Tuimoloau as a potential draft prospect.**

The Bills will be looking to bounce back from their Week 5 loss to the Texans and secure a crucial victory against the Jets. With Rapp wearing the Guardian Cap and other key players ready to contribute, the Bills are hoping for a strong performance on Monday night.
