So it would come down to the interpretation of the rule by the officials. I can’t see where a 5 to 10 second passage of time could be considered “at or immediately before the snap”.
REPLY: It really doesn't matter how long the guy's standing there near the sideline because "at the snap" he's still pretending to be a replaced player.
