The (wedding) ring's the thing: Silicone bands a growing trend in NFL

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Marvin Jones has a fancy wedding ring -- more showpiece than a usual display of marriage. More than a typical gold, silver or tungsten band, it’s made of metal and has diamonds.

It’s the type of ring worn on special occasions; something he wanted to avoid wearing all the time because he didn’t want to lose or damage it. As an NFL player, Jones needed a more functional ring on a daily basis.

Jones found the answer, thanks to his former quarterback, Andy Dalton. Dalton caught grief on "Hard Knocks" in 2013 for wearing a rubber wedding ring.
