NFL Leaves Tush Push Legal for 2026 as Eagles Plan Adjustments

Competition officials say no team has submitted a ban proposal this offseason.

Overview

  • Competition committee co-chair Rich McKay said he does not anticipate a ban, and NFL football operations chief Troy Vincent confirmed no club filed a proposal.
  • The Packers’ 2025 bid to outlaw the quarterback push failed by two votes short of the 24 required.
  • Teams used the play 112 times last season as the league’s conversion rate fell to 76.8 percent from about 82 percent across 2022–24, according to ESPN.
  • Philadelphia converted 21 of 33 tries (63.6 percent) in 2025, and Nick Sirianni said the team must either regain its dominance with the play or develop other short‑yardage options.
  • Sean Payton, newly back on the Competition Committee, said any future move against the play would reflect preference rather than health and safety.
