The Green Bay Packers have revised their proposal to ban the Eagles’ Tush Push play ahead of NFL owners’ meetings in Minneapolis, reverting to pre-2004 rule language that prohibits any pushing, pulling, or lifting of a runner. Previous discussions at the Palm Beach owners’ meetings ended in a tie, prompting Competition Committee chairman Rich McKay to suggest returning to the original language for further consideration. The proposal, citing player safety and pace of play, is expected to be voted on this week, requiring 24 of 32 votes to pass, amidst ongoing debates about the play’s safety and effectiveness.
