From a Virginia lab to NFL training rooms, data and “digital twins” are helping NFL franchises keep players on the field.

To help achieve that, the NFL has turned to technology in recent years, partnering with Amazon Web Services on an injury prediction tool that uses data and artificial intelligence to help teams manage the health of their players.

Tech-centric performance training company Exos has acquired Infinite Athlete and its subsidiary, Biocore, to bolster its offerings with science around athlete health and safety and the technology to further scale.

The Baltimore Ravens may get in trouble with the NFL for the way they handled Lamar Jackson's injury status in Week 8. Jackson hadn't practiced in three weeks due to a hamstring injury when he finally got back on the field Wednesday and was listed as limited.
