I still go with theisey and Bob M. and the definition of recovery. The only way he recovers the ball is if he comes down inbounds and there's no allowance in the rule for being carried or pushed out. There's no forward progress because he's not in possession. He has to contact the ground. I say you still have a free kick OOB.
