Nothing official yet. Through unofficial channels we learned there weren't non-chipped balls that could be used for kicking. The thought is that the league might reserve some non-chipped balls for this purpose.

Any chance they abandon the chip all together since there’s reports qbs find it hard to throw which also makes it hard to catch

I hope they change it all together measuring ball placement isn’t worth hurting quality. At least it sounds like K balls may change

It seemed like there were a LOT of under thrown deep balls. Could that be related? Because it's one thing to let the kickers struggle (not to mention a simple solution), but I don't think you can afford to handicap your quarterbacks.

Ya I saw reports the ball is lopsided and 5 oz heavier which qbs were saying makes it near impossible to throw correctly

The issue with QBs is that its used by refs for ball placement. Kicking not an issue

Ya but the chains are still on the sideline, it’d be a really easy fix imo

Seriously, not trotting out the chains for a measurement means they are missing out on a point of drama. Seeing a digital graphic of the ball placement with a measurement of inches to go is not even close to being a thrill.
