We had a situation last night on a PAT attempt where a #50 lined up as the TE. The kicking team ran a fake extra point, and released the TE #50 to the corner of the end zone where he caught the ball for 2 points.
We questioned the official on our sideline about how an ineligible number was able to receive a pass down field and we were told that during kicking situations numbers do not matter.
What is the actual rule? Thanks in advance.

How would you officiate this situation.
During the kick off the ball is close to the sideline, but not out of bounds. The player for the return team steps out of bounds and downs the ball as it is still in bounds.
Thanks in advance.
For example, Team A is flagged for an illegal procedure prior to the snap. The play continues, and Team B is flagged for a face mask penalty.
What is the ruling?
