Eagles Tush Push ban vote: NFL owners decide to table the issue, reports say. What's next?
PALM BEACH, Fla. − The NFL owners tabled a vote to ban the Eagles' Tush Push on Tuesday.
The Green Bay Packers had submitted the proposal, banning players from pushing "immediately" at the snap, the player lined up behind the center.

For the Packers' measure to pass, 24 of the NFL's 32 owners, or 75%, had to vote to approve the ban, meaning the Eagles needed only 9 votes to keep the play in place.
But the NFL owners decided to put off the vote until a later date. A source told the NFL Network that more discussion was needed. It's expected to be decided at the next owners' meeting in May.
The Eagles and Buffalo Bills had used the play more than the 30 other teams combined. But Bills coach Sean McDermott was opposed to the measure, citing injury concerns resulting from the "force" from players pushing the quarterback or whoever the player was lined up behind the center.

Why 49ers top draft pick has already impressed his new coach
The 49ers are banking upon a defensive talent infusion from the 2025 NFL draft. San Francisco used all five of its first 2025 NFL draft picks on the defensive side of the football, including its first-round selection at No. 11 overall on Georgia defensive lineman Mykel Williams. Williams tallied 67 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 40 games in three seasons with the Bulldogs. The 6-foot-5, 267-pound defensive end started 17 games during his Georgia career. Now, Williams is tasked with fortifying the 49ers' defensive edge and its pass rush. On Thursday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked if Williams is pretty well advanced for a rookie. "Yeah, I would say so. Just watching the style of how he played in college, he's just technical and stuff. I thought that jumped out on his tape the most, how good he is with his hands. A lot of pass rushers coming out of college who are talented like him and just use their talent, but he's as good with his hands as anyone I've seen coming out. And it's transferred over to practice too," Shanahan said. San Francisco is getting a good early look at Williams with some of its one-on-one pass rushing drills. Shanahan shared what the staff can glean from its one-one-one pass rushing drills during training camp. "The same as all one-on-ones, just it's able to isolate it. You can really see how a guy blocks with no help around him and you can really see how a guy's just teeing off and all he has to worry about is going to the quarterback. "Then you get out there on 11-on-11 and there's a lot more scheme involved, there's a lot more other guys, knowing what play's happening and there's so much that goes into it. But you get a situation where you can just truly focus on blocking and rushing and that's the hardest time to do it for a blocker and the best time for a pass rusher. And same with one-on-ones for receivers/corners, should be the best time for a receiver and the toughest for a corner without a pass rush, but it truly can show what guys are capable of doing in their total level of talent," Shanahan said. Williams has been impressing early during his time in San Francisco. The former Georgia Bulldog has garnered some first-team work opposite five-time Pro Bowler Nick Bosa. Williams has already drawn praise from future Hall of Fame left tackle Trent Williams, which is another positive sign as his rookie season approaches.
