2022 is the summer of helmets, and this might be the best -- and most anticipated -- alternate shell of them all. Since the introduction of the team's wildly popular all-white color rush uniforms, Bengals fans have long desired a white-shelled alternate helmet to match the kit. Thanks to the end of the NFL's one-shell rule, Cincinnati could finally make those dreams come true.

There's only one main difference between this helmet and Cincinnati's trademark orange headgear: The orange has been replaced by white. That's it. The stripes match, as does the nose bumper logo. And that's all that was necessary to create a winner.

The club didn't release any photos of the helmet with the corresponding uniform, but it isn't difficult to envision the pairing as worthy of nothing less than a chef's kiss.

The Bengals initially teased the helmet earlier in July, but waited until Friday to reveal the logo, and only after the internet took the proverbial bait by slamming the like button on Cincinnati's teaser tweet 10,000 times. Fans of Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Co. will likely hope the Bengals wear this helmet as many times, as long as it produces victories.

The Rams have placed cornerback Jalen Ramsey and three other players on the PUP list to start training camp, along with three other players.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray became the second-highest paid player in the NFL on Thursday. On Friday, he discussed his new contract and his hopes for his future in Arizona.

Six Ravens – left tackle Ronnie Stanley, running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, cornerback Marcus Peters, outside linebacker Tyus Bowser and safety Ar'Darius Washington -- were placed on the physically unable to perform list Friday ahead of the start of training camp on Wednesday.

Kansas City head coach Andy Reid said Friday he wasn't sure if left tackle Orlando Brown would report to training camp.

Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, looking back on his career, believes the game changed from team-first to me-first, that it was "mostly" general manager Kevin Colbert who wanted to move on at QB, and that he's done enough to head to the Hall of Fame.

The Philadelphia Eagles are the latest team to unveil an alternate helmet for the 2022 NFL season. Philly showed off their new black helmets on Friday.

The Browns announced they've placed third-round pick WR David Bell on the active/PUP list, but also assigned fourth-round pick DT Perrion Winfrey to his rookie deal.

The main holdover from last year's Chiefs receiver group, Mecole Hardman, told NFL Network's Good Morning Football on Friday that he expects Patrick Mahomes to give every receiver a chance to shine.

The New York Jets joined the alternate helmets party this offseason. Gang Green owner Woody Johnson announced Friday the Jets would wear a "Stealth Black Helmet" for three games in 2022.

The Jets spent the offseason upgrading the CB room, adding free agent D.J. Reed and drafting Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner at No. 4. The moves thrust incumbent Bryce Hall into a spot to battle for a starting job this training camp.

Joining the Rich Eisen Show earlier this week, Steelers running back Najee Harris made it clear he's open to whatever workload the team needs to win.
