Tush push ban vote tabled by NFL owners for more discussion

NFL owners have tabled voting on the Green Bay Packers' proposal to ban the tush push in order to have further discussion.

Even though the league has said there haven't been any injuries reported as a result of the tush push, the potential risk involved in the Philadelphia Eagles' version of the quarterback sneak has sparked intense discussions.

The league, on Sunday, presented the injury risk of the push sneak based on data modeling, saying defensive players are at risk while launching head-first, and offensive linemen at risk because of their bent posture operating in a narrow window, which could lead to neck injuries.
