The team's owner, Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman, and head coach Nick Sirianni made their stance clear during the NFL owners' meetings in March, expressing strong discontent at the prospect of a ban.

No team that dominates with a play like the Tush Push would be pleased with its potential removal. The Eagles are the only team to execute it effectively, leaving opponents struggling to counter it. Moreover, there's no evidence suggesting the play leads to injuries.

"We'll see where that goes," Sirianni said. "We're not waiting for very long to figure it out. It's going to be public (Wednesday), and you know how I feel about it. We obviously were at the owners' meetings. We talked about how we felt about it, and I don't think anyone could question what my sentiment is on it. So, we'll see what happens with it (Wednesday)."

Beyond Hurts, a couple of offensive linemen seem less fazed by the possibility of a ban.

"I'm just a football player here," center Cam Jurgens remarked shortly after g his contract extension earlier this offseason. "If they ban it, they ban it, it's out of my control. I feel like it's a fun play for us to run, and we run it well. It would be a shame if they take it out of our hands, but it's not something I need to be concerned with."
