Same thing could happen with the current on-side kick rules.
I actually made a thread about this a year or so back. Basically you make the kickoff a 4th-and-15. Teams can either punt (instead of kick off) or go for it. They could even fake the punt to go for it.
Punts are much safer than kickoffs because you don't have entire teams running full speed at each other. So just have a punt instead of a kickoff. That way the return game is still important, but with fewer injuries.
