Now that is a really interesting point of discussion. I've never even thought about making an accommodation such as this. I remember Zeus Brown had to have a special visor after getting blinded in his eye by Triplette's flag, but I believe it met NFL standards (they were making a stink about the tinted visors, but Brown's was mirrored and very dark). That is the last guy I can remember who needed some accommodation for sight or hearing.
It would be interesting if he requested it and how Goodell would respond. It is a perfectly reasonable accommodation, but I can see Goodell claiming it is an advantage and T-Jack gets the 2nd green dot on offense and Coleman can't wear one unless he's a QB. Seems like something dumb they'd do.
