PSK by 2-16-2g
Post-scrimmage kick — a foul by R when the foul occurs:
1. During scrimmage kick plays, other than a try or successful field goal.
2. During a scrimmage kick play in which the ball crosses the expanded neutral zone.
3. Beyond the expanded neutral zone.
4. Before the end of a kick.
5. And K does not have possession of the ball when the down ends and will not be next to put the ball in play.
I have added the emphasis to make a point.
I appears to me we have PSK under the condition that the foul occurred beyond the ENZ because:
1 is True
2 is True, the ball crossed the ENZ [rule does not say anything about ending up beyond the ENZ]
3 is True, only if foul occurred beyond the ENZ
4 is True because kick does not end until: Art. 2 . . . A kick ends when a player gains possession or when the ball becomes dead while not in player possession. So kick doesn't end until R recovers at K23.
5 is True R recovered at K23
All five conditions must be met for a PSK enforcement.
If foul did not occur beyond ENZ then not all five are true and I would go with loose ball play, previous spot, 15-yards and replay down. If 15-yds puts K beyond Line to Gain 1st/10, if not 4th and ????
So not enough info in original post for correct penalty enforcement.
That's my take on it.
