I agree with cmathews. The ball was loose, but this is not necessarily a loose ball play (and just because a play is a loose ball play, that does not influence IW options, if there are any).
The ball is loose following a fumble so NF Rule 4-2-3b is in effect. A gets the choice of replaying the down or putting the ball in play where possession was lost.
