I agree with Bob. His forward progress was stopped inbounds and that means the clock keeps running.
Now something I am sure you guys all know and talked about at your meeting, but if the force from B forces A in the same direction he is heading and lands OOB, you have no catch. The force by B has to change the direction of A in order to award a catch when A lands OOB.
