Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback sneak play survived debate over its future during early April league meetings.

Green Bay Packers could amend the language of the proposal this week in hopes of securing the necessary 24 of 32 votes.

The tush push accounted for just 0.28% of plays last season , per ESPN data.

The Eagles and Bills ran the play more over the past three seasons than the other 30 clubs combined.

The more the league has framed a rule change through the lens of health and safety, the more likely it was to pass.

Last year’s hip-drop tackle ban was an example, though its data was more concrete than that of tush push injury concerns.

One general manager predicted the league will pass a banning of all pushing and pulling of the ball carrier this week .
