Rule 4, Section 2, Article 3 states "A ball not in player control, other than a kick that scores a field goal, is out of bounds when it touches the ground, a player, a game official, or anything else that is out of bounds, or that is on or outside a boundary line". This means that if a player who was out of bounds, and did not touch inbounds with something and have nothing touching a boundary, is still "on or outside a boundary", and as a result is considered out of bounds. Therefore, the ball touched by B becomes out of bounds. Replay would need definitive evidence that the B player returned inbounds prior to recovery to award the ball to B at the spot of the recovery.
