My first reaction is yes since now he's the covering official for a loose ball play and not a running play. The challenge is he may not have seen how the ball ended up loose so it would be dangerous to signal TD if you don't know for certain it's still a live ball.
I'm just excited for the home town Colts and look forward to seeing them in Miami in two weeks!
