Major change in kickoffs among new rules for the 2024 NFL season

The NFL has introduced a one-year rule change to the kickoff, reducing the distance between the kicking and receiving teams to decrease injuries and increase returns. This change aims to make the game safer, addressing high injury rates, especially concussions. Players, particularly returners, welcome the change for its potential to enhance game dynamics. The NFL is also advancing player safety with new helmet models and guardian caps, and is collecting more data to prevent injuries. The league will review the rule's impact to decide on its future. Additional rule adjustments are being considered, focusing on player safety.
