The NFL continues to view the new kickoff rules as a success.
An analysis of injuries on kickoffs in the preseason yielded exactly the results the league was looking for, according to data presented today at the league meeting.
NFL Executive V.P. for Player Safety Jeff Miller said today that there were only two concussions and no ACL injuries on kickoffs this preseason, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
It’s possible that the league will continue to make minor tweaks to the kickoff rules, but it’s safe to say that the dynamic kickoff is here to stay. The NFL is getting what it wants from the new rules.
