ELI5: What is it that footballers (soccer players) wrap around their wrists all the time? Why do they do this?

So many players have wrists wrapped or taped in something, why do they do this? Can they not take jewellery off? Is it somehow supportive?

Just wrist support, isn't it? It's quite easy for a footballer to land awkwardly on their hand/wrist, especially if they're a fast but comparatively small attacking player. Or if they're diving.

Jewellery is banned at pro level.
