The Green Bay Packers have submitted a strategic change to their proposal for the NFL to ban the 'Tush Push' ahead of the NFL owners' vote during meetings in Minnesota this week.

The Packers submitted revision would broadly ban pushing or pulling the ball carrier anywhere on the field with updated language stating, "offensive players cannot assist the runner except by individually blocking opponents for him and also eliminated "immediately at the snap" in the revision version language, ESPN reports.

Owners of 15 others teams joined the Packers in their effort to ban the 'Tush Push,' a play most effectively used by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles for the past several seasons, prior to the vote being tabled for Tuesday (May 20) and Wednesday's (May 21) meetings in Minnesota, during earlier meetings on April 1.

"Discussions on the tush push have been tabled until a later date, source said," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport wrote on his X account at the time.

The status of the 'Tush Push' is one of the most debated topics at the ongoing NFL League Meetings amid the Packers' proposed to ban the play. Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott is leading the push to ban the play, despite his team having used it more than anyone else excluding the Eagles.

The NFL owners did, however, approve plans to expand replay assist and revisit overtime rules, while also opting to stick with the newly implemented kickoff rules.

Regular-season overtime rules will now match the playoffs, allowing both teams the chance to get a possession even if a touchdown is scored on the opening drive. Additionally, overtime was amended to be 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes in play time.

The owners also approved a proposal to allow replay assist to consult on-field officials to overrule objective calls if there was "clear and obvious" evidence that a foul didn't occur. Additionally, the league will continue to utilize the dynamic kickoff rule, which was implemented last season, while moving the ball on spot on touchbacks from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported.
