NFL's touchback rule change boosts kickoff returns to highest since 2006, improving safety and excitement.
The NFL reports a 79.3% kickoff return rate through Week 7, the highest since 2006, after moving touchback placement from the 30- to 35-yard line to boost returns and reduce injuries.
The rule change, made permanent after a successful 2024 trial, has led to fewer concussions and no ACL injuries in preseason despite increased returns.
While officials praise the rule for improving safety and excitement, onside kicks remain ineffective, with a recovery rate below 5%, prompting discussion of alternatives like a long fourth-down play.
Kickers have made 17 tackles this season, raising safety concerns.
The league is also investigating the Giants’ handling of a concussion protocol.
