It is a football nose guard that is hanging from his belt. There was an elastic strap that would wrap around the head and this piece would protect the players nose. It was held in place by biting down on a small piece at the base of the guard. You would hold it in place by biting down on it. The problem with that was that when you got hit in the nose and you were biting down on the guard, your teeth would go flying out.
