1-5-4, 1-5-5, 3-5-10e (NEW) 3-6-2, 9-9: Improperly equipped player shall be replaced for at least one down.
What will this mean for players with pads hanging out of jerseys or jerseys untucked? In NC the interpretation has been that this constitutes illegal equipment.
Also, the literal reading of this change implies that if equipment becomes illegal during the down (ie. pads pop out), then they would need to be replaced for a down?
