The NFL and NFL Player Association will be revisiting the “Tush Push” play, per a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
According to the league official, the NFL and Players Association will be studying the injury rates associated with the play after two New York Giants were injured on a failed QB sneak last week. Those Giants, center John Michael Schmitz and tight end Daniel Bellinger, suffered shoulder and knee injuries, respectively.
The “Tush Push” or “Brotherly Shove” (as Schefter terms it), is a variation on the quarterback sneak that sees two players line up behind the quarterback and literally push his tush to help advance the ball.
