To address the lowest kickoff return rate in NFL history during the 2023 season and an unacceptable injury rate on kickoffs, NFL clubs have approved the Dynamic Kickoff rule for the 2024 season.

And apparently it helped some...

Under the new rule, there were 332 more kickoff returns in 2024, which translates to an increase in the kickoff return rate to 32.8%, up from 21.8%. We also saw 59 big play returns — returns of 40 or more yards — the most in the league since 2016.
