FILE - Charlotte wide receiver Grant Dubose runs a drill at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, Saturday, March 4, 2023. DuBose bet on himself even when nobody else dared. He accepted the only scholarship he was offered out of high school. He worked three jobs when the COVID-19 season canceled his season. He left Division II Miles College to try out with Division I Charlotte at the urging of a friend. Then after two good seasons with the 49ers, now he could see the payoff -- going from bagging groceries and working Wal-Mart shifts to a pro football career. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy, File)

The first quarterback-specific helmet designed to help reduce concussions has been approved for use by the NFL and NFLPA, the AP has learned. The helmet, manufactured by Vicis, reduces severity of helmet-to-ground impacts, which league data says account for approximately half of quarterback concussions, including the one suffered by Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa last season when his head slammed violently against the turf during a Thursday night game against Cincinnati.

FILE - Then-Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores stands on the sideline during the second half of the team's NFL football game against the New England Patriots, Jan. 9, 2022, in Miami Gardens, Fla. NFL lawyers are urging a New York judge to change her mind and agree to let racial discrimination claims against the league and its teams go to arbitration rather than trial. In written arguments late Wednesday, March 16, 2023, the lawyers said Judge Valerie E. Caproni should reverse her recent decision finding that some claims by Flores can go to trial. Flores, the new defense coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, sued the league and three teams last year, saying the NFL was “rife with racism." (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee, File)
