The Green Bay Packers want the Philadelphia Eagles' infamous Tush Push play banned due to potential injuries, however, the latest NFL data findings suggests that won't be happening.
Per NFL insider Rob Maaddi, NFL executive Troy Vincent told reporters at the NFL Combine this week that there were zero injuries that happened on the play during the 2024-25 season.
"NFL executive Troy Vincent said there were no injuries on the play in 2024," Maaddi wrote on X/Twitter. "The health and safety committee raised concerns about potential for injuries but data says there have been none. So those arguing about safety can’t point to injures that have happened because none have occurred in that play, per league data."
All 32 NFL teams have the freedom to run the Tush Push, but the Eagles have dominated the play in recent years, leaving the Packers, and several other teams, wanting it gone.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni argued this week that his team has worked very hard at perfecting the Tush Push and how it's insulting that other teams who have trouble running it believe it should be banned.
"I can't tell you how many times we've practiced the snap, we've practiced the play — it's not a play that's easy to practice, so there's different ways we've figured out how to practice it — the complements that come off of it that can create explosive plays," Sirianni said at the NFL Combine. "The fact that it's [portrayed] as an automatic thing, we work really hard, and our guys are talented at this play, and so it's a little insulting to say we're good at it so it's automatic. We work really hard at it."
Fortunately, and unfortunately for some, however, it looks like the Packers are going to need a different argument if they want the Tush Push to vanish.

A lot of reassurance.
