Doesn't the lowering the helmet rule only apply if you are running in space?
Pretty sure RBs will still be allowed to go head first near the LoS

Judge drops domestic violence charges against Reuben Foster and reduces a gun charge to a misdemeanour, with a pretrial hearing scheduled for 6 June. 49ers GM John Lynch said that Foster has the opportunity to rejoin the team today.

Boca Raton police confirmed that former Bills and Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito is being held for an involuntary psych assessment after an altercation at a local gym. Police took a call from a patron at Life Time Gym and took Incognito into custody under the Baker Act, which allows for involuntary psychiatric commitment for people perceived as a danger to others or themselves.

NFL owners approved a policy with respect to player and officials' behaviour towards the national anthem before the commencement of games.
In a nutshell, all players and officials must "stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem" if they are on the field at the relevant time, per a statement made by the NFL regarding the policy.
The policy replaces a previous policy that said players "should" stand but did not make standing mandatory.
Players who do not wish to stand for the anthem will effectively be required to stay in the locker room during the anthem performance. Players who take this option cannot be disciplined under the policy.
The policy remains unclear as to what constitutes "showing respect for the flag and the anthem". It's widely expected that kneeling, sitting, linking arms or raising a fist during the performance will be prohibited conduct.
Should a player breach the policy, the NFL will fine the player's team for the protest. The NFL will leave it to individual teams to develop their own policy for disciplining players who protest during the anthem, subject to the requirements of the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA.
New York Jets Owner Chris Johnson said that he wouldn't discourage players from kneeling, even if it resulted in the Jets being fined by the NFL. 49ers owner Jed York abstained from the vote on the policy's adoption.
The NFL did not consult with the NFLPA concerning the policy's development.

Is this even legal under the First Amendment?

The First Amendment only applies to the government.
Various anti-discrimination laws apply to private entities but it's hard to see how they apply here without going out of your way to really contort them.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns offered the No. 35 pick in last month's draft for Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles, but the Eagles turned it down, according to Michael Silver of NFL media.
It was at least the second veteran quarterback the Browns tried to acquire before landing Tyrod Taylor from the Bills for a third-round pick, No. 65 overall.
As reported in January, they also tried to trade for Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith. They were one of about six teams interested in Smith before the Chiefs dealt him to the Redskins. At the time, Smith sarcastically told The Dan Patrick of playing for the Browns, "1-31 sounds just amazing.''
Shortly after the Browns traded for Taylor, Hue Jackson named him the starter and has not wavered from that stance despite the selection of Baker Mayfield No. 1.
On Monday, Jackson referred to Mayfield as "as the future of this organization,'' but that he'll have to wait his turn behind Taylor.
The Browns used the No. 35 pick on Georgia running back Nick Chubb.
According to Silver, the Eagles presented the deal to Foles, who said he preferred to stay in Philadelphia. The Eagles sweetened Foles' deal, kicking in a $2 million bonus and incentives that will enable him to make up to $14 million this season.

Surely Wentz has some serious concerns if they are turning down an early second?

I don’t believe it.
When was this offer made. Why would they spend 1.01, a high second and a third on three QBs

They gave up a third for Tyrod and Hue wanted AJ McCarron for second. Ill believe anything that involves the Browns getting raped in a trade.

He should be thankful that Phili needed an insurance policy. Saved from their own stupidity once again. Just like the time that pesky trade paperwork saved them from paying overs for a QB that a 1-31 coach wanted.
