However, you can lose the ball (i.e. on an attempt to stop it from going OOB), step OOB, and come back inbounds to recover the ball.
The only requirement is that you are NOT touching OOB when you touch the ball. That is, you have to be touching inbounds (or have last touched inbounds if you are airborne).
There is no requirement to have two feet "established" back in bounds as some fans/coaches/players believe.

This is even if no one touches the player? The player lost the ball on their own accord. I mean this is a very subjective term "lose". To me this is almost like a person dribbling who is tip toeing the line. Their body is about to go out of bounds so they decide to "lose" the ball. They can go and retrieve it after stepping out?
