The NFL Competition Committee has proposed to maintain the new kickoff rule changes introduced in the previous season, which include moving the touchback spot to the 25-yard line to encourage more returns and reduce injuries. Additionally, they are considering adjustments to the onside kick rules, potentially allowing teams to declare their intent to attempt an onside kick, which would limit the receiving team's ability to return the kick. This proposal aims to increase the success rate of onside kicks while maintaining player safety. The committee also discussed the possibility of a fourth-and-15 play from the team's own 25-yard line as an alternative to the traditional onside kick, although this idea has not been finalized. These changes are part of ongoing efforts to balance the game's excitement with player safety.
