It's an interesting question, Chuck? Did you see this happen?

I think you can tell the difference (the person who goes OOB to receive, or be a decoy on, a pass goes more-or-less perpendicular to the endline and reenters at more-or-less the same spot).
I concede that you could come up with a play where the official might not be able to tell -- and I'd give the benefit of the doubt to the offense.
But, if it's clear that the offense was just running OOB to clear a screen to get open, I'd have a violation.
