This comes after Clemson CB Nate Wiggins suffered a hip flexor earlier in the afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The NFL’s old-school chain measurements aren’t gone yet. But steady momentum is building to institute technology for first-down measurements. The NFL tested optical tracking during the 2023 season at the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium and the New York Giants and Jets’ MetLife Stadium, a league source confirmed to Yahoo Sports.
