INDIANAPOLIS -- NFL competition committee co-chairman Rich McKay said Sunday that he is not anticipating an attempt to ban the tush push this year, one year after debate over the short-yardage play roiled the NFL.
"There's no team proposal that I've seen from it," McKay said following a day of meetings at the NFL combine. "So, I wouldn't envision it. But you never know."
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported in September that there were no assurances of reviving the tush push debate in 2026, as sources cited the vitriol of last year's discussions and the eventual failure to garner enough support for a change.
