Overview

  • The 'Tush Push' play, popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles, will remain legal in the 2024 NFL season, as confirmed by NFL executive Troy Vincent.
  • Despite criticism and concerns over player safety, the NFL found no sufficient injury data to justify banning the play.
  • The Eagles have been notably successful with the 'Tush Push,' achieving high conversion rates in short-yardage situations.
  • The retirement of Eagles center Jason Kelce, a key player in executing the play, raises questions about its future effectiveness.
  • Several NFL teams and committees discussed the play, ultimately deciding against proposing a ban due to lack of evidence on increased injury risk.
