The article discusses how repeated head knocks in sports like boxing and American football can lead to long-term health issues such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is linked to the build-up of a protein called tau in the brain.

The NFL has introduced an AI tool that utilizes TV imagery and sensors in players' gear to monitor impacts and injuries, aiming to enhance player safety. By employing machine learning and computer vision technology, the tool can identify potential risks and provide valuable insights for injury prevention strategies. Despite these advancements, there are concerns about the inherent physical nature of football and the limitations in completely eliminating injury risks.
