"Troy Vincent Anticipates Proposal for Kickoff Rule Change"
Troy Vincent, NFL's executive vice president of football operations, stated that there will be a proposal to change kickoff rules this offseason, aiming to increase the number of kickoffs being returned while limiting head injuries. Last year's rule change led to a decrease in kickoff returns, and the league is seeking a balance between increasing returns and reducing concussions. The XFL's kickoff approach is being considered, but may not have enough support from teams to pass. If no change is approved, the kickoff rules will revert to 2022 rules.
