According to USA Today, commissioner Roger Goodell will to tell the league’s owners during meetings this week that group celebrations, using the ball as a prop after touchdowns, going to the ground, and snow angels are all now allowed.

Players like WR Wes Welker and TE Vernon Davis were penalized and fined in previous years for making a snow angel and shooting the football like a basketball over the goalpost following touchdowns.
Unfortunately, not everything is back on the table. Exceptions like twerking made infamous by Steelers WR Antonio Brown and shooting a bow & arrow, done by Josh Norman last season, are still punishable in game with a flag and post game via a fine.
Prolonged acts, miming weapons, offensive gestures, sexually suggestive stuff still expected to be banned. That includes twerking. Sorry, AB
