Overview

  • NFL owners will convene Tuesday and Wednesday in Minneapolis to vote on the Packers' revised proposal to ban the 'tush push' play.
  • The updated proposal seeks to prohibit any pushing, pulling, or lifting of ball carriers, reviving pre-2005 language on assisting runners.
  • The Eagles have strongly lobbied against the ban, citing their high success rate with the play and a lack of injury data supporting safety concerns.
  • Critics, including Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu, have labeled the play as unfair, while NFL medical experts warn of potential injury risks.
  • The proposal requires approval from 24 of 32 team owners, with opinions reportedly split and the outcome uncertain heading into the vote.
