They don’t use sensors. Link to show they use them. There are available, and not used.

New Smart Helmet Could Spot Concussions in Real Time
Columbia researchers are developing what would be the first wearable diagnostic device for traumatic brain injury.
As far as current day I can't find anything to substantiate their use. In 2015 they suspended the use of the sensors but the first article references 2021.

And they’re not in use in games to detect concussions. I even said that the tech is there.Built By Data: NFL Helmet Innovation

Maybe not but I haven't found an article to show that to be true either. Seems like there's an effort to conceal that.

This at least claims to show them researching new tech in 2022.
Why would they conceal it if they were using it? They probably see so many hits that they buried the program. You can’t hide something like that lol being used live, lol.
I would urge you to find the confirmation from the NFL they aren't being used current day. Not saying it doesn't exist but l can't find it.
Purely speculation of why they wouldn't give that information is HIPAA violations or they don't want the bad PR of the results.
I’m supposed to prove a negative? You said they’re being used and detected Purdy’s concussion. You prove that.
Yes I understand your motive. I don't know and can't confirm. Is that better? I also can't show it wasn't in use but would probably lean towards them not being used. You can take that information however you like. I would also point out I asked why it wasn't detected. Not that it was detected.
There is some weird conversation going on in here the last couple of pages.
Brock may have a shot to play based on trends. I guess Pickett was able to last year in this situation, so we’ll see.
The 49ers gave up 3 first round picks and a third round pick for Trey Lance. Obviously Shanahan and the Front Office didn’t know their own system. Unless you consider Trey Lance an intelligent QB that anticipates routes very well.
Or is it they fit the offensive game plans around the QB’s strengths? Because I can assure you 100% that Shanahan would give his left nut and 3 first rounders for Jalen Hurts right now.
