Here is the "outside the box" solution the NFL is considering to eliminate the devastating injuries that occur on kick returns.
After a team scores, they will keep the ball. The ball is placed on their own 30 yard line and it is 4th down and 15. They can either go for it or punt. There are statistically far fewer injuries on punt returns then there are on kickoffs.
