Owners voted this spring to overhaul the kickoff, hoping to revive a play that had little action last season after most kicks resulted in no returns.
Owners agreed to a one-year trial of a radical change on kickoffs with a new system that borrows heavily from what was used in the XFL spring league.
The new rules get their first chance to be used Thursday night in the exhibition opener between Houston and Chicago in the annual Hall of Fame game.
There were 212 unnecessary roughness calls last season in the regular season and playoffs.
Teams now get a third challenge if one of their first two challenges is successful.
Replay can now determine whether a snap got off before the game clock expired.
It can also advise officials on certain elements of roughing the passer and intentional grounding.
