Opponent drops ball as enters tackle. Contact then made by shoulder of player, contact made around head area. Player is looking away and opponent has dropped slightly as enters tackle. Player has bent own knees to lower point of contact. At point of contact, opponent has dropped even further. Not a shoulder charge, player is simply bracing for contact and doesn’t get arm out. Sets up to tackle as if going to wrap arm, but then pulls arm in, appears to be setting up to tackle the ball due to loose carry. Opponent gets to feet, not injured. Player’s feet are on floor at all times. Appears to be making legitimate tackle attempt, accidental contact with head.
