NFL Reportedly Not Guaranteed to Vote on Tush Push During Offseason amid Controversy

The NFL’s recent push for stricter officiating of the tush push doesn’t necessarily mean the league will consider banning the play in 2026.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that “there are no assurances that the tush push issue will be brought up for conversation or a vote by the NFL this offseason.”

“One source told ESPN that, after the hotly contested conversation the play raised last offseason and the emotions it aroused, he believes the entire issue needs to be tabled for a year before it could be raised again,” Schefter wrote.

A proposal to ban the tush push ahead of the 2025 season received support from 22 teams but ultimately failed by two votes in May.
