Eagles QB Jalen Hurts receives the news he’s been waiting for after latest NFL owners’ meetings update
A big-time boost for the Eagles offense in 2026.
Jalen Hurts will be ecstatic to hear the latest NFL rules update. For the Philadelphia Eagles, their offense isn’t going to be hindered due to frustrations of the past when it comes to a particular rule change.
Tush push will stay in 2026
According to Adam Schefter, there will be no discussion about the tush push during this offseason’s NFL owners’ meetings. The play will be available to teams during the 2026 season.
For the Eagles, this is fantastic news as they look to improve upon their decreased success using it in 2025, compared to 2024. It won’t be outlawed this offseason.
Last month, the league’s Competition Committee co-chair Rich McKay revealed that no team had proposed to alter or ban the play as of that time, so this positive outcome for Philly has been on the table for some time. Now, it is rhetorical reality of the situation for the entire NFL.
“There is no proposal to ban the Tush Push and overall the percentages of use and success are down. “There is less talk about it in the football community,” Competition Committee chair Rich McKay said.” — Ian Rapoport
Lane Johnson reacts to tush push news
The future hall of fame offensive tackle had a simple reaction to Schefter’s reveal regarding the controversial play. All he could do was laugh.
After multiple years of discussion, on and off, regarding the legality and fairness of the play, Johnson is certainly happy to see those talks have cooled off now. The Eagles will get to keep it in their playbook for the time being.
Fans of opposing teams seemed to talk about it less during last season as well, most likely due to the fact that the Eagles offense was much less consistent as a whole. The play simply seemed like less of an issue – which could help Philly going forward in actuality.
It will also be intriguing to note how much the tush push is instituted with a new play caller in the building for the Eagles. Sean Mannion will surely have it in his back pocket, but could we see its usage go down in favor of some other play calls for short yardage spots?
Only time will tell. Regardless, the Eagles QB and the rest of the offense are surely happy with this current outcome involving the tush push.
