The Eagles are reshaping their offense for 2026, but one familiar short-yardage hammer is sticking around.
New offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, hired after Philadelphia moved on from Kevin Patullo following a rough 2025 season, is keeping the Tush Push in the playbook. According to Tim McManus of ESPN, Mannion made it clear that the play remains part of the offense and that it is “Not going away in the new system.”
That’s notable because the Tush Push didn’t look nearly as sharp in 2025 as it had in previous seasons. The Eagles’ offense struggled overall, with a passing game that never really found its rhythm and a run game that was just as troublesome. The Tush Push, once one of the team’s most reliable answers in tight spots, also slipped well below the success rate it had posted in earlier years.
Still, Philadelphia isn’t walking away from it. The play was a major piece of the 2024 Super Bowl run, and the hope now is that a healthier offensive line can help it get back to that level in 2026.
Mannion is also bringing plenty of change elsewhere. He’s installing more under-center snaps for Jalen Hurts and the offense, while leaning into more motion and other modern play-calling and scheme wrinkles.
The personnel is changing too. With AJ Brown gone and Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks arriving, the passing game will have a different look. And with Jeff Stoutland also gone, the offensive line - and by extension the run game - should operate differently than it has before.
But on the question everyone had about the Tush Push, Mannion has already answered it. Philadelphia is keeping the play, and the Eagles are betting it can regain its old bite in a new-look offense.

Eagles Camp Battle Just Took A Concerning Turn For Dameon Pierce
The Eagles wrapped up a long training-camp session at the Jefferson Health Training Complex, closing out the longest stretch of camp with a mix of encouraging and uneven moments. Willie Lampkin, Jalyx Hunt, Jalen Carter, Eli Stowers, Byron Young and Jake Elliott all had noticeable runs during the workout, while Nolan Smith and Hollywood Brown had tougher stretches as the team continued to sort through roster battles and health checks.
One of the more concerning developments came when Dameon Pierce left practice early, turning what had been another full camp day into a potential storyline to watch. Philadelphia still does not know the extent of the issue, and until there is more clarity, Pierces standing in the competition feels a little less certain than it did before the session began.

Ty Robinson Is Forcing His Way Into The Eagles D-Line Picture
Ty Robinson has spent the spring and summer doing what young defensive linemen in Philadelphia have to do if they want real attention: keep showing up in the right places and holding their own against the starters. After a quiet rookie season in which he got into 11 games and chipped in a few disruptive plays, the second-year lineman has looked more confident in OTAs and training camp, enough to start working with the first unit and draw notice in one-on-one work.
The timing matters for the Eagles, too. Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis are already locked in as part of the front, but the rest of the rotation is less settled, and any uncertainty around the depth chart only gives Robinson more of a lane to push through. For a team that values keeping its defensive line deep and young, this kind of summer climb can turn into something more meaningful once the pads stay on and the roster starts to take shape.

Eagles Pass Rush Just Got A Huge Week 1 Opening
The Eagles opener against Washington already had the feel of an early measuring-stick game, and it just got a little more favorable on the line of scrimmage. Washington is now dealing with a major loss up front after starting left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered an injury that immediately changes the look of its protection plan, which is not the sort of development a pass rush wants to see on the other sideline.
For Philadelphia, the timing matters. The Commanders are now sorting through replacements on the left side, with Andrew Wylie and Brandon Coleman among the names in the mix and other options still under consideration, which adds uncertainty to a position that usually sets the tone for a quarterbacks comfort level. It gives the Eagles front a clearer path to create stress in Week 1, even if the full picture of how Washington fills that spot is still taking shape. [Read more 🡒]
