I think most teams have their own safety rules if you will for QBs running, and that these safeties get shelved for the playoffs. At that point you're in "whatever it takes " mode.

EDT: I think Brees repaired shoulder have made the Saints extra cautious with him since he's been here. This year is the most I've actually seen him scramble for yards.

I think the chance of injury on QB sneaks is relatively low bc no one is really colliding at full speed. The biggest risk is someone on defense trying to guess the snap count and charging at the line with a 7 yd head of steam. Even with that, the person probably taking the impact is a 300# OL and not your QB.

The greatest chance of injury is probably from the FB/RB ramming into the back of the QB to get a few extra yds
