The NFL is considering rule changes to increase the number of kicked returns, aiming to boost the excitement and safety of this dynamic play. Co-chairman Rich McKay revealed that the league may move the touchback field position to 35 yards or adjust the kickoff tee location back five yards. Additionally, the Committee will explore ways to make onside kicks more recoverable or replace them entirely, citing a 32.8% return rate in the recent season, up from 21.8% in 2023.
