A chip will be placed in every ball during the preseason.
Following the preseason test, the league's Competition Committee will review the results to determine how the balls performed along with the potential uses of the data collected, Signora said.
Signora said there's potential for the information to be used in the future on media platforms such as NFL.com and also in-game telecasts, including 2016 Thursday Night Football regular-season games.
