What do i use to protect my brusied toenail when playin football or can i not play with it?

Just protect it...: You don't need to stop playing, but i would protect it by wrapping the entire tip of the toe with athletic tape. First over the tip of the toe, then around it for anchoring. Use 1 inch wide tape. Once it feels better you can stop the wrapping.

See below: Use vaseline over the nail and then several bandaids or cause to protect it.

Bruise: As said, topical protection should work. Or see your podiatrist for some things that we have available.
