That's illegal touching, not ineligible receiver.

If he is the first player to touch the ball. Like you say, if he's forced out and comes back in immediately, no penalty. But if he goes out on his own and comes back in and is the first player to touch the ball, it's illegal touching.

Seems always to negate an exciting play on a technicality -- uwhokie 11/14/2021 4:51PM

If the ball is thrown behind the LOS, the 3 yards does not apply. ** -- MCL3 Hokie 11/14/2021 4:21PM

True, but where it's getting called a lot now is because of the receiver -- UEMcGill 11/14/2021 4:57PM
