The Use of Helmet rule is designed to protect players from unnecessary risk. It's illegal to lower your head to initiate contact against an opponent.

The Raiders have assembled a group of aging players. Which gives Jon Gruden the league's smartest de facto coaching staff. https://t.co/MqN1Qljgbl

2/2 " … again that could change. It's unpredictable what could happen in the world but as of now, we're not. We have communicated that back to the NF. They have not asked but as courtesy and good partners we have let them know what our plans are." – ESPN Pres. Jimmy Pitaro
