By rule, the defense can "push, pull or ward off an opponent in an actual attempt to get at the runner or a loose ball if such contact is not pass interference, a personal foul or illegal use of hands."
Tackling the offensive player would constitute IUHands, so we have a foul on K during a loose ball play. Enforce 10 yards from PS and repeat 4th down, if accepted (which it will be) or K will have the ball 1-10 at R's 25.
We do not have KCI cuz the K can legally contact any R player afterthe ball was touched by a receiver beyond the NZ.
