So the Law is written with the expectation that a player has gone to ground to with the ball, or has gone to ground to get possession of the ball.
the question is : does this also apply when a player is on the ground for some other reason, and the ball happens to come to him.
I can't see why not, they're covered under "It also occurs when a player is on the ground in possession of the ball and has not been tackled".
