The intential grounding is an illegal pass.

7.5.12 states that ineligible A players may not advance beyond the expanded neutral zone on a legal forward pass.

If you did throw on the ineligble downfield, which you should because the R should be calling the grounding penalty, it should be waved off and the intential grounding enforced. Keep in mind the the grounding penalty carries a loss of down.
