The Green Bay Packers revised their proposal to ban the tush push, the league announced Monday.
Green Bay submitted its initial proposal in February, citing player safety issues and competitiveness. That motion would have prohibited “an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap, immediately at the snap.”
The Packers’ updated proposal wouldn’t allow the pushing or pulling of any ball carrier in “any direction at anytime” or helping lift the runner to his feet, according to a copy of the proposal obtained by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Green Bay also removed “immediately at the snap” in the amendment.
