NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith reportedly faces a vote from the union's 32 team representatives on Friday to determine whether he'll remain in the position.
ESPN's Dan Graziano reported Wednesday that Smith failed to receive unanimous approval from the NFLPA's 14-member executive committee, which moves the vote to the team reps. He needs at least 22 of the 32 votes to remain in the role.
If he receives between 16 and 21 votes, he'll be allowed to run for reelection but will face competition from candidates selected by a search firm ahead of a March election, per Graziano.
