New language revealed in latest proposal to ban tush push

NFL owners are expected to vote this week on a potential ban of the tush-push play that has been made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles, and the previous proposal that was submitted has officially been revised.

The Green Bay Packers submitted a proposal in March that called for a rule that would "prohibit an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap, immediately at the snap." 

It was widely reported that the proposal did not have enough support, but owners decided to table their vote.

A revised proposal has officially been submitted ahead of the owners' meetings that will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Tuesday and Wednesday. The key language of "immediately at the snap" has been removed.

The proposal now states that a player cannot "push or pull a runner in any direction at any time or lift him to his feet." It also states that a player cannot "push or throw his body against a teammate to aid him in an attempt to obstruct an opponent or to recover a loose ball."

Here is the full proposal:
