Chargers' Justin Herbert Testing Out Red-Tinted, UV-Protection Contact Lenses
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is testing out red-tinted, UV-protection contact lenses as training camp opens. He wore them Thursday under sunny skies after trying them out earlier in the week while working with the team's rookies. "They're like sunglasses," he said. "They really helped. I didn't have to squint nearly as much." Herbert tried wearing a tinted visor a couple of years ago and didn't like having to constantly clean it off. The contacts make Herbert's blue eyes appear red. "When I stepped in the huddle, I think some of the guys were a little surprised, but they were like, 'Oh, we're going to score,'" he said, smiling. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker told "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" that he and Herbert wore the red contacts to dinner recently. "We looked like we were vampires," Dicker said, adding that initially people didn't recognize them. "We were like, 'This is incredible.'" Herbert said he thinks he could wear the contacts in games with a medical prescription due to sensitive eyes. "If I'm able to see the field better because of it, it definitely helps," he said.

Sony's New NFL Coach's Headsets are Set to Debut on the Sidelines for 2025 Season - Middle East Business News and Information
Custom-Built Headsets Utilize Sony's Industry-Leading Sound Quality and Noise-Canceling Technology to Deliver Critical Sideline Communication in all Types of Game Day Conditions Dubai, United Arab Emirates — July 15, 2025 — Sony and the National Football League today announced the debut of their all-new NFL Coach's Headsets, custom-developed from scratch to meet the demands of NFL coaches. Using insights and engineering principles from Sony's industry-leading 1000X headphone series , these headsets reflect Sony's extreme commitment to audio innovation and top engineering standards, serving as another strong symbol of their collaborative engineering and technology partnership with the NFL. 'Sony continues to stay ahead of the curve, evolving technology that meets the intense demands of today's game,' said Troy Vincent, senior executive vice president of football operations at the NFL. 'Coaches and players at the highest level count on reliable and dependable communication, and this headset is another example of integrating game day excellence with football innovation.' 'As a head coach, communication to my staff and players is everything. Sony took the time to understand exactly what we need—from clarity in noisy environments, to comfort and reliability when the pressure is highest,' said Matt LaFleur, head coach of the Green Bay Packers. 'This headset took all factors of the game into consideration, and I am looking forward to being able to rely on them during the game throughout this season and beyond.' 'We've taken a coach-first approach—listening, testing, and engineering to make sure we can accommodate the many unique demands of the sport,' said Neal Manowitz, president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics Inc. 'While this headset is built for the field, it's backed by decades of audio innovation at Sony. The knowledge we've gained from developing products, like our WH-1000XM6 headphones, shaped our thinking on how to deliver clarity, focus and performance in even the most challenging environments. It's a powerful example of how our expertise translates into real-world solutions for the modern game.' Sony's extensive expertise in noise canceling played a key role in developing the custom solution built into these headsets. While tailored and tuned specifically for the sideline, the headset benefits from the same noise-canceling engineering trusted by millions of consumers worldwide in products like the 1000X series. Throughout the development phase, each unit was tested using real crowd noises in excess of 100 decibels to optimize the noise-canceling algorithm for in-stadium accuracy. The headsets also feature a custom-built microphone engineered specifically to isolate and elevate the coach's voice, ensuring consistent and clear communication on the field. To ensure the headsets could withstand the physical demands of the sidelines, Sony built and designed them to handle intense weather conditions, including rain, sleet and snow as well as extreme heat and cold. The headset also underwent extensive drop testing against the physical demands of the sidelines and is ergonomically designed for long hours of wear and quick transitions with a secure fit that stays in place during high-intensity movement. The headsets will be fully integrated across all 32 teams for the 2025 NFL season, enhancing sideline communication and driving real-time strategy with greater clarity and confidence. The headsets will connect to Verizon Business' Managed Private Wireless Solution through a belt pack. As the official headset of the NFL, this launch marks the next step in Sony and the NFL's ongoing partnership—combining engineering expertise and on-field insight to bring technology innovation to the game. ### About Sony Middle East and Africa: Sony Middle East and Africa FZE is a 100% subsidiary of Sony Corporation and is the regional headquarters for the Middle East and Africa regions.

Steelers Trade Puts Pressure on Arthur Smith
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's how the trade to acquire tight end Jonnu Smith has continued an offseason-long trend of catering to the personality and scheme of offensive coordinator Arthur Smith -- putting the pressure on him to increase the performance of his offense. The Steelers acquired Smith, making him the third former Smith protege on the current roster, joining Cordarrelle Patterson and Scotty Miller. In addition to players that have played for Smith before, the Steelers have also made moves to help better fit his scheme, grabbing Aaron Rodgers instead of Russell Wilson and drafting Kaleb Johnson instead of keeping Najee Harris. Smith did a good job last year in his first season as the Steelers offensive coordinator, but the unprecedented level of service to his scheme and personality fit this offseason definitely ramps up the pressure to be an above-average offense in 2025. Alan breaks it down. #steelers #herewego #nfl CONNECT WITH STEELERS NOW: Steelers Now: SN on Twitter: SN on FB: SN on Insta:
