According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, NFL owners voted Wednesday to reject the proposal to ban the tush push, a play made famous by the Eagles that features players shoving the quarterback from behind to generate forward momentum.

NFL owners narrowly failed to pass a proposal to prohibit the tush push. The fate of the short-yardage strategy was on the agenda at their spring meetings.

When it failed to pass in early April, the Packers aligned language more closely with a pre-2005 policy that banned players from pushing or pulling a runner, or lifting a runner to their feet.
